Thanks! I really think that patience was the key. The collective wealth of information is amazing.

They look great & you followed a very important part of it by being patient. If you ever feel like you start to get impatient while doing it, just walk away until you feel good about it again.
Good job!

I would also add that scales for the blades, traditional, is a big plus. Some pin variety there.
Just so you know, I don't make scales, but adore them all the same!

I am too picky, I admit!

The top one is kicked a bit high at the wedge end.
I predict you will begin thinning the scales out toward the pivot. Makes things nicer as handling.
All I can critique, really. Wish I could do 1/10th as well!

A couple of thoughts jseitz, Tuzi's satin finish is rather elusive, I have not felt as though I nailed it yet either. I think you are right about spending the time and using the elbow grease to get it right. Your work is very good.

They never divulge all, Rez.
You gotta find it!

VERY NICE work in those blades, very nice indeed.
Good, crisp lines, not too shiny.

But I'd say the scales need to be thinned, and tapered more.

Not saying their bad, just be as critical about your scales, as you are the blade.

Your skills will only improve with time, as did with all of us here. Glad ya joined the thread, crazy bunch of guys with sharp objects, with wild ideas, and insane knowledge. [emoji41]

Getting the satin blade finish is an endeavor. Close as I have come was this Tally Ho. Sanded to 2k then used a red scotchbrite on a cork. It's close and it is satin but no Tuzi level.

I have accidentally done well a few times. I have no idea what I did!
Because I did everything!

I am convinced it is all in the hands and mind. Tuzi has it!

I don't!
