    Default Brunoblade in G10 and Rayskin

    Got this one from our very own Bruno about two weeks ago, 8/8 spanish point with a long monkeytail.

    The blade was heat treated and ground/sanded to 80 grit when i got it.

    I hand sanded the spine and tang to 2K, the blade itself I just ran lightly on 320 and 400 greaseless as I wanted to keep the grind striations, finally polished trought the "normal" steps.

    I desided to try something new by making rayskin inlay, tought it would be cool. Well, it was a lot more job, and waaay harder than expected, I spent about 8 hours on the scales alone...
    I'm not 100% satisfied with the result, the skin was a bi*@ to cut to the right shape, and after gluing it in place it kinda shrunk a bit.

    Scales in White G10, black wedge to go with the rayskin and brass pinning.

    That looks absolutely awesome Zephyr,
    I have a similar monkey tailed BrunoBlade comming but with some spine work also on it's way to me
    can't wait looks like i will have to remove a scale shape from my short list now LOL
    I too am really liking the light grind lines in the blade as I have a 1" W&B that still has them also.
    job well done another Brunoblade success
    Saved,

    Absolutely stunning work!
    This is what I like: The end result is a beautiful custom built around my steel that looks way better than anything I could have made in a reasonable timeframe. This is a perfect example of 1+1=3

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Looks very good. Maybe we should start a Bruno's Blade club to showcase how they turn out with different approaches by everyone who acquires one of his semi-finished forgings.
    Zephyr and Substance like this.

    Just mentioned this to Bruno the other day about starting a thread like "Show us your Brunoblade" or a Brunoblade club as I believe there is quite a few of his blades out there & it would be great to see them all showcased.
    Mine is in the mail as we speak so am keen to add to it when I have it done.
