The extra facet you added after the stonewash on the guard really adds an extra dimension. Gorgeous knife brotha!So I was working on the guard yesterday...
Pretty happy about the fit up.

Now it's time to grind it to shape.

Since every surface is prepared for stonewash, I can start sculpting.
The face of upper guard got to be first.

Side grooves done and everything blended in together.

Lines between lower guard radius and side groove were closer to each other than on the upper guard. I had mixed feelings about it, so I took few steps back and fixed it.

I'm done with it for now, next step- making the handle.
All three look great Lucas. What length blade is the middle one?

I started this run quite a while ago but I got sidetracked with other things.
I was going for 6 but I overestimated my angle grindiner skills and got only 5. More steel already arrived and I'll add one or two when I'll have those 5 prepared for HT, just don't want to mess my flow![]()
