Heat treatment went well, blade came out straight and clay made the entire ride through forge and quench, now for 3 runs through the tempering oven 90min each.
I fitted a brass guard to the knife, so lets talk handle materials, I like green and blue so it will be easy to talk me into that direction. Here is my input I think Ironwood, kirinite blue metal flake or green metal flake, Micarta, or buffalo horn, that would be very nice. I want something tough but nice looking, I doubt I can get any horn to fit this handle shapre and size.
