So I heat treated the golok/machete (gonna have to name it, that's getting old) today. I coated it and went for a sloppy hammon, which I kind of like versus a nice neat squiglly line.
Anyway, this is what it looks like after tempering and hitting it with a 120 grit belt on the grinder.





I'm actually thinking of leaving it just like this, only sanding up to 400 grit and leaving the hammon rough and scaly looking. As opposed to shining it all up and having a subtle hammon.
What do you guys think? Clean it up or leave it rough?

Gotta leave it rough that thing looks like a sappling killing machine, way to gnarley of a tool to polish up

I personally love it, you know you almost could go hang with Slicer, the Pork swordsman, fighting of trolls and such in the woods.

He geeks out to much when he sees a big knife though, it's embarrassing for me and I'm not even the one being a dork.




Cool, guys. Looks like I called it right then. I think I'll leave it just like this.

I like the way it looks just like that. Now don't ruin it by putting some crappy handles on it. If you want me to send you some money for OD micarta let me know.
