This one shows the colors best. Note how the bluing took really well right at the back edge of the primary grind. Too bad the whole thing didn't end up that black. :o

I wish my collection looked more like some of the ones you guys have , some really nice knives and beautiful sheaths as well.
 
Recent mod to a Swamp Warden. I stripped the coating, gave it a hand-rubbed scotch-brite job, then blued it with warm vinegar. Finally, I convexed it and it is laser sharp now.
