Simplicity and quality materials at their best. The one with color is killer.

I love those!!! Thin and mean!
I like everything, the tang flush with the front of the handle and at the same time minimal backsquare stickout in the closed position...geometry wizardy!

- very nice work indeed.

Love the popcorn stag too :thumbup:

Don, if you don't mind i'm interested in the steel's finish.
From the pictures it looks like a bit dark grey (and beautiful), i ask since i also work on carbon steel and i wonder how to handle the parts to be installed and if i should leave it or not the oxides also inside, in the walk surfaces.
What is your method to remove the excess oxides after etching?
Thank you

Stezann, these blades aren't etched, just a hand rubbed 400 grit finish. The lighting or angles make the blades look dark I guess. However when I do etch blades and springs I leave the oxides on all the internal surfaces. But everything gets a good coat of oil. Hope this makes sense.
