Wow that's shiny! Great job man. How'd you get the inlay to fit so perfectly?

That IS pimped!
If it is used on acidic food it will discolour like any other carbon steel, but you can just clean it up with some metal polish.

File/sand paper/ patience I also hollow ground the inside of the frame so it would hold the glue.

That's very nice. And now it has two wilderness survival features: Knife and signal mirror lol.
MMMM, Not much I can add realy.
Hand sanded and polished the blade
Cut the wood a bit thicker than the knife, filed and sanded to a very tight fit, ground the inside of the frame to hollow it out for glue, forced the wood through the hole so it protruded out both sides. Squished it a little in my press, let the glue dry then sanded the wood flush, flooded the wood with super glue, more sanding and polishing.
That's about it.
