I really like the blade profile. What are your ideas for the handle?

Awesome Randy! Question...Do you etch your logo before or after you etch the blade? Does it matter which is done first?

I like it very much!

Beautiful Erik! Thank for the link to the WIP also. After you etch the blade are you useing green rouge on your wheel to buff? One part confused me (which isn't hard to do :o) In the WIP you etch your name BEFORE you etch the blade not after ??

Erin that an awesome knife. Photo looks good. Photo tip.... Try defusing the lighting. The exposure will be longer but that really helps control the glare.

Is that the one you're doing for kith? :biggrin:

I like the profile. Lot of grinding there! how many belts did you go through?

Yes it is worth something. Nice harmon (that wavy line running the length of the blade). How much i do not know. I suggest that you send Bubba-san (James) on knifedogs a privite message. He is probably the only one hear that can really help you. He helped me with mine which looks just like...

That is s-w-e-e-t! You can peel some metal off with a mil huh! :cool:

I like that. Good thinking!

I will take a shot until Bubba-san/James show up here. In the photo of the tang there are two holes for handle attachment. The original hole for the "family" handle is the top hole with the rust closest to the two characters. The lower hole is the hole made to attach the military handle that...

Beautiful knives repiton. I like your woodcock stamp too.

Darn! What I was going to say has been said. Well how about congratulations.

Thats beautiful work Mike. Well done! :thumbup:

Wade do you think that by increasing the copper content in the ferric it would then produce a heavier copper plate? The copper plate should give the blade some added rust resistent proporties. am I correct? How durable is the plate?

Thanks for those links etorix. Very interesting reading.

Please post some good photos of the blade also to show the harmon. I belive the handle & guard/tsuba to be the typical WWII officers hardware. Looks to be a family blade though. Thats where any value lies. I am sure James will be on this thread shortly. He will be of great help.

EXCELLENT Wade. Do tell us about the copper ferric etch. Please:biggrin:

Well done Travis. I really like that design.

stabilized should certaily keep the germs from intering the wood better than no stabilized.
