These two are for for a gentleman that wants to put some nice handles on them himself.
O1 core with 1085 (cable) on the sides.
5 7/8" blade, 6 3/4" including bolster.
Top blade is somewhat ground (oxide is due to watering it while grinding it to reduce temperature so I can be able to grab it
) and shows how the entire blade is welded perfectly.
Then the bottom one shows how the acid bath and second HT get the blade etched and colored.
Thanks for looking!
