Look what the postman brought today
I can't sing enough praises for jake's work, everything from the blade to the handle to the sheath is just brilliant, you can clearly see the hours of effort he puts into these beautiful creations... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

This blade was the first one have tested my unique differential tempering
Its actually the most beautiful and best blade i have made
EDIT: and yes, i always do differential quenching, but this one even has differential tempering

Looks quite nice, but i would have just leaved it polished. The fitting of the guard and handle piece looks quite rough, but not bad at all. Can i get a pic of the shieth?

You can't see it, but there's a leather washer between the handle and guard. It looks a bit neater in person, but yeah fitting of handle/guard etc. is what I need to practice.
And a polish is only a few minutes away with a buffing mop if he ever feels so inclined
The sheath isn't finished yet, so it's just a leather cover at this stage.
