The shiny buffing isn't for me. As long as its sharp it works for me. This will be for my dad with a paw print for a leopard.

I'm with you on the shiny part, shiny doesn't cut, sharp does! What steel is it? Where did you get the mosaic pin? Nice job!!
Made the pin and the steel from what I'm told is L7 from a lumber mill blade. I had a variety of blades to pick from and I think I chose one of the L7 blades.
