[Spots]

These were built for a member here l, I'll be shipping this week.

Fraternal twins

12.5 blades, 5" handles with skull breakers left sticking through. 1084 steel, razorsharp, flat ground with hammered in bevels, forge finish with 100 grit clean up on the flats. Lighter Handle is purpleheart, darker handle is african walnut. I feel like these are my two best so far, and I hope he enjoys them. Comments welcome

I commend you on using the purple heart. I just made one with a purple heart handle, and that stuff is a bear to work. It is truly a hardwood. Those look really great, I'm sure the new owner will be very happy.

That purpleheart is a monster. It just about killed the blade on my radial arm saw, then the 40 grit griding belt, that ate the other wood like an animal, balked at the purpleheart. I used a rasp to shape it. Hardest wood Ive ever used for a handle.
