Very handsome knife! I love the overall proportions and materials & finish choices. There looks to be some interesting alloying (or carbide?) "effects" showing in the darker, top half of the blade.

Thank you all, glad you liked it.

Well, as I observe, wootz kind pattern usually appears on classic bearing steel (it is russian ШХ15 and ШХ15СГ), after being forged. This one also surprized me, especially interesting, that it didn't appear at all on hardened zone while etching.

Very nice! Love it!

Yeah, took me some time to shape all the pommel part, thanks!
