Hope you dont mind, sir.
Bocote scales with brass pins dressed this ex-mower blade up. Flat grind, with a convex edge, leaving the forge scale on the ricasso area as well.
I am fairly pleased, didnt polish the blade, just left it kinda rough. I like it.
My filework pattern stuck around on this one as well.
Brandon since you were inspired by me for some unknown reason...I guess I'd better help you out with your pictures rather than delete them

P.S. Amazing what proper lighting can do!
