Hey Guys, i'm back again with another request regarding this knife i made. i'm undecided as to go ahead and keep sanding and finish the blade to a mirror polish finish or should i clean it up a bit and then force a patina on it with mustard or something and go for that sort of look?

So please give me your vote either state POLISH or PATINA! and feel free to give me your 2 cents on the knife, or ideas for finishing it, but at leastgive me your vote!, thanks as always guys!

Mustard patina, the darken it overnight in vinegar. You can get some really cool patterns with smeared mustard :)
 
i couldn't decide and i didn't get enough responses to make the decision so i flipped a coin and patina it is, if i don't like it i can always sand it away right! i've never done it before but i figure its pretty simple, put mustard on blade, wait till its done... i'll post a finished pic later.

Man that's a great looking knife! What's the blade length and overall length?
 
I like small fixed blades too, only have an Izula so far. More to come in the future though. Did you use Micarta for the handle?
