Drako11 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Very nice! I love the simpleness and ruggedness they all have. I may copy a couple of them. ; P How did you get the blackened blades black?? I know when I stick a blade in the fire it will blacken like that, but it will just wipe off how do you keep it black?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCristo Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Beautiful set of knives. I really liked 1-3. Favorite is probably #2 with the guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks guys. Drako11, the blades were etched in a ferric chloride solution and then rubbed with 0000 steelwool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
