Marksnagel Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nice looking blade and handle. Welcome to IFI. Pull up a stump and sit a spell. Lots of people with a wealth of knowledge that are very willing to share their thoughts and opinions. Good job. Let us know in your profile where you are generally located so other blacksmiths/bladesmiths can help. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akers Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi guys, Thanks. The blade was quenched in veg. oil and dif. tempered, sanded to 600 grit and etched with hot vinegar / polished several times to get the look I was after.

Tiapan Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 looks similar to some blade on another forum i frequent. I love the look of double sided blades. I was playing with an idea in my head of how to do a doubles edged blade with both edges being differentially hardened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
