Joseph Elliot "Diamond Edge" 13/16 in Abalone Acrylic
Here is some pics.
Didn't do a whole lot to the blade other than polish it up and got rid of active rust.
I just bought an 8" variable speed grinder and 36" bench belt/disc sander, so, hopefully in the near future i'll start moving towards mirror finishes and fast scale production. Although...personally, I don't think a mirror finish is all that interesting -- I like some character on the blade. Anywho.... heres the pics. Thanks for looking!

I like it very much. Good job. Did you peen the pins yourself? Did you use micro-fastener washers?
Thanks for posting.

1/16 nickel silver rod, 1/16 #0 stainless washers from microfastener. peened myself.
Spacer is a faux mop acrylic, but, more or less looks like white acrylic from the side. it was just a little bit extra i had from another project. figured i'd use it up

Great Job. I love the scales and that blade is really nice. I am glad you didn't sand off the etching. I hope to see more of your work later.
