Lloyd90 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Would look good with some sort of Varnish/Stainer or something on the handle, or you just going to keep that natural look ? Looks really good mate, nice work :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urikastu Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 The blade, is that guage plate, if it is try tempering your next one, the edge will stay keen for longer. I'm sure a few people might tap you up for one of these beauties :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
