The guard for the Warrior Heart Bowie. Going up from 40, 80, 120, 240, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and then to the polishing wheel. Even such tiny things take time to get them to this level if only perfect is good enough and I am far from that.

I finished the custom etching on the Warrior Heart

I finished the custom etching on the Warrior Heart blade I am working on.

This was probably the most nerve wrecking step as it is easy to ruin so many hours of work in just some seconds.

All came out perfectly and after the final polish the etching is crispy sharp to read.

The words follow the wave of the grind line of the primary bevel and are adressed to the son. I also etched the family crest on the ricasso. This knife will be something very special.

Now I can see the clouds and trees just fine. This is what I was aiming for, besides beeing dirt and sweaty.

Even more bling. But I found 2 or 3 scratches so back down to 400 grit and redo the whole finish. Knifemaker life.

Oh snap! Literally. When you are too meticulous and try to fix a tenth millimeter bend ... Time to start again. Still enough blades on the bench. Probably I'll try to make something from the rest. At least a nice fine grained structure in the steel ð
