I'm humbled.. I've been blessed with minor success at doing a thing I love. These creations are by my hand and mind alone but I won't forget for a second how I got here. The road has been long and there are many miles to go but the support from folks has been a lighthouse in stormy seas.

I like itdepending on if it is  a rat tail tang? I would like to see someone designed  a full tanged bayonet. I have broke two military issue m9's I think because yes I was not stabbing a soft tissue target, but trying to pry open a plywood lids should not bust a well made knife. Sexy work as always.

I still haven't made anything because of this thread, as after purchasing a grinder and an extension cord I realized the impracticalities of griding outside of my apartment.



BUT in July I will be getting a new apartment that I will be able to use my grinder out on my patio.



Can't wait to try to do something with a slice of railroad rail that I found!

Work has me 7 days a week currently, I need to find the time. I don't plan on selling the blade, I have it and I still want to auction it off and donate the funds. How would it work? This is all new to me.

I'm terrible... I remember asking you about the bearded axe after watching Snow White and the Huntsman... I finished playing American McGee's Alice the other day and had the thought that an enlarged, patinaed and blues bucher-style knife would be badass, but alas... Probably much more spendy than I can afford...

Vorpal Blade FTW.
