The Dark Side

[BenR.T.]

I am calling this one the "Dark Fighter". This is my first attempt at a blue/bleach antique finish,
and I think it came out nicely. The wood is Bocote, but is mostly black, which compliments the blade I think.
It is 11" OAL and is quite light and fast in the hand. The steel is .125" L6. (It still needs sharpened)
Let me know what you think.

Nice work. The matching scales end grain and pin layout look very sharp.

Thanks Jeff.

Very cool. Kind of an apocalyptic look to it.

Cool piece, Ben! Are the pins and tube copper?

 

[BenR.T.]

Yes they are copper, thanks guys!

Thanks Jason, I am no a huge fan of brass, so I usually use copper instead.
