Blue knife

[M. Pennacchioni]

Hi!
It is an integral forged O1. The blue color is tempered. My first blue knife and my first inlay .
Is inlaid with silver and gold (the most tiny je) in the Bolsters.
The handle whale bone with pins purchased. These will remove the black and replaced it with blue epoxy.
Overall length: 22.6 cm
Blade length: 11cm
Regards

Nice knife. I love the tempered blue look.

Scales look like they'd be hard to fit but they look nice and tight.

Good job.

Beautiful knife. I also like the blue color and it really set the inlay up. Is this intended to be a user? If it is to be a user, I'd be concerned about the hardness of the blade.

Really nice work, personally I would leave the pins as they are. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all.
Steve, as you say: the scales like that is very hard to fit. As you say I will think before doing it again.
Ed, at 300?C 50 minutes, turn blue. The hardenes is 56RC aprox. But some times i test and became litle up. Because i cooled the knife quickly.Sory i dont know explain better.
