How is fancy spine work done?

Thats it. Got info? Links or pics?

Depends on the spine work. There's file work, and then there's things like gold wash/leaf etc. Can you refine your question a bit more?

If so I have no idea, however I am sure I have read a thread about it somewhere here.

Funny.. Most of my "restore" jobs come out with the edges looking like that...Not the spines...guess i need to control that dremmel a little better

Yup, small files when the metal's still soft. It's not too hard to do but takes time, I always end up sticking the pointy end of a tiny file into my thumb at least once per knife it seems. The tricky part is coming up with patterns that haven't been done to death already.
