Latest hunter/bushcrafter

Here is one I just finished up for a fellow bowhunter in Minnesota. It has leopard wood scales,
stainless pins and an antique finish to help protect from rust.

What are you using to do that finish? I have always like that "old knife look".

Ben.  

How effective have you found the etched finish to be for rust prevention? I use it on a lot of knives because it looks cool and speeds up the brown patina process.  I have found it to be a middle ground level rust protector.  

I really like the knife,  you have the style down pat.

Great looking knife!

Thanks guys. The finish is a gun blue/bleach finish and so far seems very durable.
