excellent build.

burchett.donald:
Thanks Kevin! Glad to hear from you...
I skipped some pictures awhile back on heat treating so lets talk about that and post them up...This is 154cm air cooled steel... The blade is wrapped in stainless foil to keep carbon build up to a minimum. I heat treated it to 1900 degrees for 15 minutes and allowed it to cool...I did not temper this build, I wanted it very hard...This was done right after the finished 600 grit blade...I apologize for the confusion but couldn't find the pictures...

OK, back to the handle...I used a 4" and a 1" 80 grit drum sander for shaping...Went with finer grit drums to achieve a smoother finish to prepare for the buffer...Hand sanding also...
