Not sure what I think about the etching it looks like deep pitting. It might look better in person. I really like the blade shape of the last one. I think it would like nice in a smooth satin finish. I've been having a love affair with the etching lately. It does heavily pit and patina the blades but I think it gives them some personality, or a "hard use" look. For comparision, here are some of the same patterns posted above without the etching.

Where does one buy the second blade from? I am a security contractor and have been in search of such a blade. Perhaps one that even has the false edge sharpened. I don't typically make knives for order as this is a hobby for me. I can make you one but it would take several months as I would have to order everything. I don't even have any steel "in stock" right now. If you are seriously interested, shoot me a PM and we can work out all the details. I do have a few blades that are already heat treated and awaiting completion. I can get you one of these faster but they are different sizes/profiles than what is posted here. . |
