Just finished this biggun up. 11" blade, 16" OAL. Stock removal. 3/16s thick. Stacked leather handle. Hammered mild steel guard and butt plate. Hope you like her!

That's a cool piece Andy. I really like how the blade flows into the handle. I have an appreciation for the hammered guard and pommel as well. It makes me want to go out and tear into a mess of wood. Great job! The client is going to be very happy.

Steve, I quenched three times in heated peanut oil, then differentially tempered with a torch.

Looks great, Andy. I love the stacked leather. Where did you get your rasp? Was it a new one or an old one?

I'm glad you like it.

I use used, new rasps I get from our farrier (does that make sense?). They are Heller rasps, and seem to be of very good quality.
