    Nickel pins and washers

    Honed
    Chosera 1k,
    Dalmore Blue,
    Tam o' Shanter
    Norton 8K
    Slate (unknown)
    Charnley Forest.

    Lol it sonly when you see the pics you notice some little thing, I just need to give one of the pins a little tap just to keep it flush and maybe, some micromesh on the blade to make it look a little better.

    Otherwise Im happy with it

    Nicely done. What did you fill my mark with? It looks the same color as the scales.

    This one is 10/8+, and differentially heat treated so it will show temper lines when etched lightly.

    And this is a 7/8+ design I have named 'Azumi'
    It is made from antique tamahagane, and on its way to get some Tokyo flash scales.
    The white bubbles are oil. I didn't check the pics until after the blade went out, so I have no better pic than this.

    Don't you hate that. My pictures are full of artifacts that don't seem to be there in reality.
