Getting into bladesmithing myself.. Diggin' the natural "dirty" look. Something about that 'raw' look that makes things standout. Hell, anyone with time and paper can put a polish on ol' plain-jane. Thumbs up brother.
 
Re: Dark Faith Kwaiken

thanks, gentlemen. i really appreciate the good words. yeah, i like to make things that are very unique. i hate polished and shiny. i bead blasted all the chrome off my last motorcycle and let it rust. gave it that post-apocalyptic look.

Sometimes, the steel is more interesting. Another nice knife.
