    Default Someone's going to be happy... :)

    This one is sold already... It's a 6/8 half-hollow, acid-etched finish, padauk scales with horn spacer.

    The blade was forged to shape before finish-grinding. I love the way it balances.

    Nice man, very nice.

    Love the shape of edge. Looks very damascus.

    I really like the looks of your acid etched ones. The two I've seen anyway. I get that "Moar!" sensation when I see them

    I too like the look of the acid etched but wonder about the depth of the etch and how robust it is?

    How much abuse will the etch take?

    I think the acid finish will be very durable. I'd have to take it back to the grinder if I wanted to clean it off without hours of hand-sanding. This one was cleaned with 2000 grit sandpaper after the etch. The finish definitely won't rub off.

    The nice thing about a finish like this is that it should be very rust resistant. The steel is already oxidized, forming a protective shell. Once carbon steels develop a patinia, they resist rust much better. This is just a deliberate patinia.

    Very nice Josh.

    Are we going to see an acid wash with stag scales soon?

    I love the look. Kind of rough "look what I found in the attic", yet refined to say "hah, look what I got".

    I'm saving my pennies for one. You don't need to go find a job, I think you already found it.

    That is very nice looking. Clean classy lines and a lot of character in the etch.
