This is nice to see.  I have not seen the use of the black iron scale for decorative contrast on these before.  You could add a picture on the thread, black and white blades,  I started some weeks ago.  I have a dao with punched dots as decoration where some have an etched pattern in imitation of folded steel, there is also this strange design.
