Looking good bud. :thumbsup:

Looks like you have a good looking start. Pewter works fine for bolsters too, and it's easy to work with.

 

[JamesG]

Thank guys, and yes i have some ideas for a case

Looks very good, but if you can't scratch it with a file, it is too hard, and may be brittle.

Looks great :thumbsup:
Will look even better with a beaded sheath
Just a thought !

Looks like you have some filed 'jimping' on it, so it will file? if not may be too brittle for rough work. looks good tho.

 

[JamesG]
