Well, I thought I'd show what I was working on at the moment.
Bottom blade is 7 1/2" inches, then up to 6",5",4 1/2" and 4".
NIce little variety. All 0-1

The bottom knife is a revised version of my go to camp knife. 13 1/4" overall.
This time I raised the grind line and put on an etched/blued finish. I still have to shape the handle so it feels of so nice.

Thanks for looking.
 
awesome work again Brian, and those hammons are crazy once again, that's what I wanted to do with mine....what exactly are you using to get them like that?

Steve,
On these I used my oxy/aced torch with a no 4 tip. Just keep the tip moving and do it in a dim place.

Mike, I am using ferric chloride and brownells oxy blue. I normally dont blue but this time I wanted to try it out. I have to get more ferric soo, do you want me to get you some? Mix it 4 parts water to one part ferric. I'll show you when I etch the ones in progress if you need me to.
 
I have some.. Got it at RS at the mall. Next time you use the fc,put about
1 1/2 oz of peroxide in the mix. It will etch much faster.. The extra oxygen helps I guess.
