gorgeous,
can't wait to see the blade etch, the photos seem to have hints of activity, maybe wishfull thinking. p.s. - superglue works wonders on hairline cracks in wood hilts. keep wicking it in till it's full then it can be sanded or trimmed flush & crack is essentially gone forever. |

Thank you for your kind words, hope as well to see a laminated blade!  I am not a fan of superglue by restoration and the cracks are very minor. I have oiled the wood and hope that the cracks don't become bigger and the patina is very nice and will be going by sanding. Regards, Detlef |

if they're not structurally significant, i'd not use superglue either

Just etched the blade and was positively surprised since the blade have a very nice lamination. Now only need to fill again the open space from the ferrule. Will post pictures when all work is done. I think the investment from 70$ was ok!

All work is done now! I have used the mixture Indiana suggested. What do you think?
