just finished this one today. quarter inch Cru Forge V steel with a weathered finish. wrapped in dark copper flat wrap with natural alligator underlay. this one was fun to make.

thank you. it is a saber grind. i don't do scandi grinds. there are plenty of folks on that bandwagon right now. they don't need me jumping in as well. no offense to any other makers, i just try to steer away from certain trends. the "burr" is just poor lighting in my pics. it doesn't actually have the final edge on it in this picture, i try to take my pics before the final edge. i don't need anymore trouble with glare from shiny edges.  i am not the best photog, but i try.

thanks, i take a blade blank and coat it with instant blue and soak it in regular old bleach for a while. usually takes a couple of days. it is amazing what household chemicals can accomplish. yeah, that is natural alligator belly as my underlay. i love the look and texture of gator hide. this pitted finish has been pretty popular for me. i am shipping one for a customer in estonia next week.
