Butch,

That is sick! Good work. I have no need for it - but I wish I did.

Thanks Bruce,I really like the Plum Brown,it gives a very rich patina,and easier then my old method---I also found if you use regular cold blue and heat the metal the same way it gives a nice grey finish,always trying something new----Have a great Holiday ---Butch

Love that graceful head. Beautiful shaping there. I agree that the Plum Brown looks great on it.

No doubt a very rich patina that really compliments that curly maple haft.
Kinda like a nice fixed blade & leather sheath.

Thanks Butch. Back at ya for a very Merry Christmas.
