This is it, the moment we have all been waiting for. Today I am doing the big reveal of the finished Down Under Build. I am really happy with the way that it turned out, and I can't wait to see how 
I went to the post office today to do some research on the price to ship and everything that might need to go along with shipping to another country, and it doesn't seem that bad at all.
So anyway, today I am doing some small detail things. I am taking the blade cover and tape off to see what is happening underneath. I know that the tape will leave a little bit of glue on the blade, but it will come off real easy with alittle sand paper. I am also going to run it across a sharpening stone and then put my makers mark on it. I didn't catch some of these things on camera though.
The coolest part about this build, in my opinion, is the finish of the steel. When I tempered the blade it turned a nice straw color, like a burnt yellow goldish. I sanded the body of the blade, but I left the bevel the straw color and I think it added a nice contrast for sure.
There is a sweet ruggedness about this blade. I know that the toughness is there and that it was very share when I was all done. I think, from what I gathered, that it is going to be well used so this should do the trick.
Thank you all for joining me on this amazing build. I loved being able to work with the buyer to really try to get the scope of what he wanted, and create something with his input.
I am currently between projects, so if you would be interested in a custom piece I am ready!!! I accept paypal and crypto!
Be well
