Hi everyone. I just wanted to show what I have done to my Eskabar.

Here it is at work yesterday. I added the jimping along the spine a few weeks ago.

Next, I took it to the media blaster.

My Izula scales arrived the same day. With a little filing, they fit snug with a snap.

Test fit.

I added some jimping to the underside of the ring.

I forced a patina on the handle and spine with apple cider vinegar. I plan to let the blade patina naturally.

And here is the finished product. I tried to show the ring jimping as best I could

That jimping looks real nice and pretty even. Details?

I just measured out the distance (1/16" to 1/8") with a 6" scale and marked it with a sharpie. I cut in about 1/16" with a half-round file, then finished them all off with a very small rat-tail file.
 
Awesome!

What'd you use to accomplish the stonewash finish?

And I really love the jimping on the bottom of the handle!
 
Very nice! I have thought to do something similar with mine but wasn't going to go that far up the blade though.
Still looks great. Thanks for sharing!
 
classy.
getting those grooves spaced evenly is a real headache, ain't it? :D
 
You guys and your file work. I'm envious. :thumbup:

Great job, Jukrui. That's a sweet 14.
