beautiful, but from the picture looks like a nut on the butt of the handle holding the blade in, hard to tell by the picture. If that is the case, need some kind of decorative cover or concealment there. IMO.
The nut will be recessed and a Black Onyx stone will be embedded when finished , its not quite done yet .
Steel is 1070 .... Still have a bit more polishing and touch up to do and another go on the fitting to blacken them up .
