    Nice work, I like the parkerized finish. Care to share the process you use?

    1. bead blast heat treated blade
    2. clean blade thoroughly then submerge blade in 170 degree parkerizing solution (http://www.amazon.com/DuraCoat-Phosp.../dp/B000M66VYQ) for 10-20 mins
    3. remove blade and wash with soap and water
    4. dry blade and apply a penetrating protectant oil designed for parkerized steel
    5. final bevel blade

    Really clean work in functional looking designs.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Damn! (that's a good damn, not a bad one). Those are great. Are you sure you're not a machine?
