Finished it

This was the knife I made from a piece of steel back in May.  I figured I would get it done.  I used a piece of exhibition Ironwood, attached it with brass Corby bolts and epoxy.  Its a super hard wood and it took awhile to get it worked down.  Buffed it out with white rouge and am really happy how it turned out.  I etched the blade with a couple of different kinds of mustard (vinegar is an acetic acid) and then used gun blue to darken it up.    Made the sheath too.
