Carved/Textured blackwood and bronze

[J. Doyle]

This completes an unmatched set of two hunting knives that were ordered for a guy to give to his boys.

I threw in a picture of the knife and all the parts right before glue-up just for fun. Everything is pinned together as well as glued so nothing can move or twist.

Specs:
Forged from 1084 steel
8 3/4" overall, 4 inch blade (3 1/2" sharp), .180" thick at the ricasso
African Blackwood handle with carving and texturing
Bronze guard with bronze and black g-10 accents
Bronze and black g-10 accent in handle

Noob question: What treatment gives the blade a dark grey color?

Wow

The simple little touches like the slight groove on the bolster make this knife more than just a knife.
Great job!
