I love the look, fierce yet elegant.

Very nice, the spirals look spot on. Not an easy thing. I've never been able to get them even.

Thanks fellas,
Jim I had an old maker show me how to do it about 10 years ago and I forgot about it till Sunday. Take a string or thick thread, secure it to one end and wrap it till it is even on the handle then secure it on the other end. Make sure it is all even then use blue layout spray or I used a light primer grey to spay over the handle. Let it dry and then you have a perfect pattern to carve out

Lovely work, as always. For me, your blades seem to exude an air of quiet
competence that gives a firm foundation to TaxCollector's observed elegance.

Thanks for sharing the tip on the spirals. I love ideas like that, and sometimes it's the old ideas that are the simplest and best.

Very nice Taygrd Excellent work on the handle!

Nice work. I like the contrast between the two materials and the simplicity of the design. "Understated elegance" comes to mind!
