This how the CuMai Kit turned out (bit more hand sanding to do, but so far rather happy with it.

Grail acquired. New to me NeOn fresh from the exchange. I've wanted a Shiro for many years, but they're mostly well out of my price range. This one happened to pop up at a good time, and I was somehow able to swing it, so I went for it. Holy moly. This is probably the nicest knife I own, and I own a bunch. I'm incredibly happy to have snagged it. This is the one, fellas.

A week back ... I picked up a used copper Hinderer XM-18 scale. I watched a youtube video teaching ways to patina copper.

- a light turned on in my cranium to give the patina a try. Super simple process: clean surface; sprinkle sea salt on areas you want different color(s); suspend on a jerri-rigged Reynolds wrap tinfoil bridge over a paper towel saturated with ammonia in a sealed recycled plastic lunchmeat container for 24 hours; rise under a light trickle of water the pat dry with a paper towel; and finally apply shellac to seal the patina.

Those scales are like the scales of a dangerous snake!

Fantastic!
