Made me a new Knife

80CRV2 steel ,ironwood handle

Perfect EDC size and great job on the handle, the scales look great bro.

What did you use to get the colored etch or patina between the scales and blade?

I used Daniel O'Conner's no-scale and liked the case hardened look and just left it on there after tempering it looked even better and less work lol.
Thanks Anthony

Looks great....nice work

nice knife, beautiful piece of iron wood too

That’s a beautiful piece of ironwood. Nice work.

Looks great!!! I love desert ironwood!

That looks really nice. I really like the case hardened look too and the ironwood is nice as well.

I love the look of Ironwood but man that smell is probably the worst of any wood I've used! lol

And the amount of belts it ruins lol

If you get it to hot it smells like someone peed in the fire.


Variable speed helps but they still gum up belts.

It sure looks good when finished out though.

Good looking knife.

Nice looking blade!
