This one is just out of the oven.
She's leaving for a new home today.
Steel - 1095 differential heat treatment with hamon (acid etched)
Handle - ergonomic D-type in two-tone walnut (by a worm) with G10 and carbon fibre spacers.
Out of the quench
Rough grind at 60 girt and a quick dip in acid
Dirti 220 grit grind
Hand-sanding to 800
Cutting test before the final etch
Final etch
Handle rough and final
And almost done
I did put on the maker's mark after this video but managed to break my phone before the pics were sync to the cloud. I'll take a few new ones and edit the post when I get home.
