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.

What did you quench in?

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.

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.

@ Tiapan, This is actually a single edged blade kinda like a dirk. thanks for looking.

I like the lathed handle and fitting.

like the way you did the but cap, looks real perty lol
