Initially I wanted to keep the heat treatment Black residue, but during final fit and finish

Unfortunately during final Fit and Finish some of the black started to come off when
I cleaned it with Acetone for Gluing. Therefore I had to change it to a high Gloss Polish.
I guess the beautiful contrasts that a Knife Maker like Trollsky gets it due to the hand forging
and not due to the heat treating. Check out Trollsky's Blog and fantastic knives by clicking
