It looks brilliant, Bill! Is it fairly easy to do? I am contemplating bluing the basket on my Darkwood.
Do you plan to do anything else with the hilt? Maybe a nice Albion-style leather wrap? :D Jonathan |

I have a Hanwei basket hilt and it is non-magnetic...at least some sort of alloy if not SS that would probably make a hash out of bluing or russeting. BTW, I have just completed russeting two basket hilts using the same manufacturer's Plum Brown and both turned out very, very nice. Used a propage torch for clean heat. |
