slip joint

[D.Ellis]

Just finished this one yesterday.
All comments and critique welcome as always.

My version of a Dogleg pattern.
3 inch blade......just under 3 7/8" closed.
Bronze and nickel silver with brown canvas micarta.
3/32" O-1 steel.....antique etched finish.
Pinned shield (the next one will be a more interesting shape)

Really nice. What are you doing to get your antiqued etch on this and the antler scaled fixed blade recently posted?  

I guess I am asking how far are you finishing the steel and what are you etching it in? I really like the look.

Thanks.
I hand sand to 400 grit, and then do the cold blue and bleach etch method, followed by a rub with 1500 and quick buff.
I think I did a demo of the etch method somewhere......I'll try and find it.
