    Stand up if you love the crisp, clean look of an exquisitely finished carbon steel blade. :biggrin: Respect for Russ Andrews, who clearly has confidence in his steel finishing skills. That's a good thing, since the least little flaw will stick out like a sore thumb on a blade like this...

Pulling from that source and New Testament book The Revelation of St. John the Divine, JR built this very bold...
