Y - START LK5013D coppered blade rosewood handle

After etching with ferric chloride which was used to etch copper before the dark areas were plated with copper




I didn't axpect that and even after polishing the copper seems to be very stable






Maybe after a while it will turn dark but for the moment it's looking very interesting eveb though it's a way more subtle effect than the usual black and white damascus pattern




 How about rosewood scales? Or better Tartan Micarta?

Rosewood it was...

  1. That's pretty cool. I think Bob Ross would have called it a "happy accident"!

    1. Yeah, could be. But he'd add some little happy trees for sure ;)
