Thanks! Didn't do the tempering on this one..have a friend that does that part and I start from there. This one is 8.5 AOL with 15N20 and 1095. Made this one inspired by the Loveless Classic Hunter shape.

This is another that's still in the works...fine tuninig the grip shape and the rope filing work with some more polishing and there's an end thong hole that doesn't appear in the photo - that center mosaic is actually hollow in the middle to tie in with the outside thong inserts...
