Looking awesome.  And I really appreciate the detail you go into with your posts.  The first time I tried this etching method after you showed it on here once before, I think it took me 30 minutes to convince myself it was a good idea to dunk a perfectly good blade in bleach.

Thanks guys.
Matt, it really looks scary when you first take a perfectly good blade out of the bleach eh?  :scared:  
Fittings will be fun. I am thinking a slightly s shaped guard and I can't help but put some copper in there somewhere. Between the fairly light colored ivory, and the dark blade a splash of color is going to look pretty cool I think.
All I got done today was some preparation for fittings......cleaned up and threaded the tang. And got another blade almost ready to ship way over to the eastern seaboard........
