I wouldn't worry about the color, if you had polished it would turned color after use in cooking.

absoluty we had a lengthy conversation about all the things that could go wrong, and a few beers later the phase that get me into trouble " So I bet you can't do it".

Alan I agree and I usually take files to the grinder and smooth them out. but this one was ordered with the teeth left in. to try to keep it from breaking I annealed twice before HT. The HT method I used was Godard's goop quench and clay for a differential HT. tempered to light straw 425 3cycles. tested the point by dropping in to concrete (always scares me), then batoned kineding. final test batoned a 2x4. had no bending, warping, chiping, and remained hair poping sharp. I am amazed at how well it held up. I might make a few more and test to destruction.

Thank for the warm welcome. Now I just have to decide on a flush or peened finish on pins. I will post pics when finished,

I'm getting ready to apply my handle scales on a black bush craft style knife I made out of a old file. my question is that I think it would look good with copper liners and pins. I have never done copper pins but have worked bronze and brass. copper is a lot softer and I would like to avoid any issues. any tips would be appreciated.
