  • Heat Treat - Clay coated and Quenched in Toughquench, Tempered 3 times at 1-1/2 hours each for a final RC of 59-60
  • Finish - Hand rubbed to 1200 then etched in FCL to bring out Hamon. All oxides were then buffed off to mirror leaving a wispy hamon that appears and disappears depending on the angle of view. I can re-etch and hand rub to a vivid hamon if the buyer prefers that finish.

Nice work.
Is the area between the scales and the filework filled :thumbup: with black epoxy? Hard to tell in the pictures...I could use some new eye glass too.
 
Hi PKT,I have tried filling in the vine pattern w/several different mediums and due to the "thorns in the filework" being very shallow epoxy's will not stay there after a little use. I won't put it in & have it come out after the sale. Then it really looks like crap . I have been doing this style blade like that for about 18 months now ( without epoxy in the voids ) & it looks MUCH BETTER in person - pics never do the piece justice,that is unless you're coop or one of the other Blade Pic Pro's. Thanks a bunch for looking PKT , I really , really do appreciate it ! :)
edit to include : PKT , you do know that you can click on the pics , then "maximize" the frame . Then at the btm. right use that button that appears & disappears as you move your cursor over it to maximize it one more size.That should give you a better quality image than the thumbnails .It sure sucks when your sight starts to go , I spend all day wearing an "opti-visor" while working - can't see crap without them either so I know what you mean. Thanks again .
 
Nice grab Rule! Forgot to look back in. David keep um comming beautiful work.
 
Thanks stabber ! Even though quite a few makers do the vine it's still one of my favorites - pretty time consuming - but worth the effort . Thanks again :thumbup:
 
Boy...that went fast....looks really terrific. Looking forward to receiving my second knife from you soon...really like the 'snakeskin' damscus one that just came.
