Got the file work laid out. This one is getting file work all the way wrapped around the handle -



The first pass -



Second pass -



The third pass -



Cleaned up. Just three simple steps to a vine and thorns file work -







The butt end. I played around here and planned it out so it look like two vines meeting -



After heat treat and etching. Did a new technique here. First deep etched in muriatic acid and than followed up with a dip in ferric chloric to bring out the contrast. Turned out the best that I've ever gotten -



Next will be the handle and sheath, with a lot of luck.
