Tiger Striped Handle and Stripes Cont'd On Blade Spine

[DanF]

Well, this is the first (and last) of the reeded/coin edge spacers I will try, a big thank you to John Doyle for the inspiration, and no thank you for more, I'd as soon poke flaming slivers of wood in my eyes.
I wanted something on this "different", so thought I'd try "striping" the blades spine to fit in with the handle.

Images deleted.
I don't want someone not understanding the history of this subject here, from recent, past posts to misunderstand my purpose.
A big thanks again to Mr. D for the inspiration to try to push myself further.

Very nice! How did you do the stripes on the blade?

Triangle needle file to start, then round needle file.

I think that is gorgeous. Nice classy work.

Love it. You're saying the spacers are a pain? I've been thinking of trying some on my first hidden tang (also inspired by the excellent work of Mr. Doyle).

They were for me, the long work periods peering through my fly tying mag light gave me a splitting headache.

Very cool. I like the claw Mark's or whatever ya call them on the back of the spine. Got another pic of that?
