Yes. How about blue scales on one side and red on the other. I think that would look very patriotic.
I believe those are orange TeroTuf (or the Creamsicle, as Yoko calls them).
Paint the tang white and gold inlay on the Carothers and Keffeler inscriptions? 'Murica!!!
''Pepsi K20''
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh… did you not see his TV/movie ninja sword?Looks like he only ordered one K20, so calling it the Van Gogh would work, too
Ok maybe not.
No , just stonewash with orange tt handles
My love for orange scales isn’t too obvious ,, is itI believe those are orange TeroTuf (or the Creamsicle, as Yoko calls them).

My love for orange scales isn’t too obvious ,, is it
Too bad I couldn’t get white micarta under the orange tt
Then it would really be an orange creamsicle lolSounds like perfectly sound reasoning to me!My wife thinks I’m preparing for war.
I told her that in a SHTF scenario. If we ran out of ammo I can still protect us.
The traditional material is buffalo horn. It's not too expensive and I've played with it before, but I find it a little delicate, wanting to chip or crack. The easy modern option is any kind of micarta, carbon fiber, or G10. I used G10 (black 3/16"). G10 is hard on files, and you need good breathing protection, and clean up the dust. It does cut easily with a hacksaw and can be shaped with sand paper. Of course you could use something like African Blackwood also. I don't think it's worth looking for anything premade since you want it to be a good fit for your particular sword.
