Hi everyone, I've been a little bit disappeared from the forum, but now I'm back in business!

I wanted to show you a few pictures from a work in progress i'm doing this days.
It is a full integral fighter.
I've started the process with a round stock of 52100 steel. This is when I've isolated the blade and handle from the guard.
