Very cool! I was impressed with some tests I saw on Youtube of bronze swords with how well they held an edge cutting wood. Would love to see some cutting pics/videos with this.

That's purty! :)

Abbott sold and I set up the sheath for left hand carry, edge up, cross draw. The Combat Loop will be a more rigid belt mount, or the webbing and buckle should allow a carry that can shift around more like sash/obi carry.

In amongst other blades, I continue to play around with tantos with varying degrees of traditional/non-traditional profiles. These are some of the more recent ones. All of 'em are forged from 5160 with paracord over neoprene wrapped handles impregnated with marine epoxy. Also, Kydex. First...

I just got back yesterday from the Usual Suspects Network Gathering show in Las Vegas. Here are a few pictures from the show. My table with my loverly bride. I was up all night to finish everything for the show, so she drove the first day while I slept. Thanks, sweetheart! I had some...

Kevin - With that long of a blade, it is going to be blade-heavy. But the tang is substantial enough and the wrap materials add enough weight that the balance is not too forward.

Dang, that's purty!

Raymond - I never have remotely everything I want on the table and I always have a full table. :) A lot of what didn't sell at the show has sold since, and I haven't finished posting up what is left for sale on my blog. For the most part I am a one-man shop, though I did have a medically...

Raymond - A tool, or a machine? :) It was a flog to get ready for Blade, as usual, and it was made worse this year by several outside factors delaying me, but I had two tables' worth of sharp-and-pointies and had a good showing. But I have been slow getting back into a regular routine in the...

Thanks, guys! Wdtorque - Met a fellow last year carrying one of your knives. He was the son of Novelyn Price Ellis, who had a tempestuous on-again-off-again relationship in the '30s with Robert E. Howard of Conan fame. It's a weird little world we live in. :)

Some smaller work from the Blade Show. All of them are forged from 5160 with wraps of paracord over a foundation of neoprene and impregnated with West System marine epoxy. This o-tanto has a blade 13" long and an overall length of 18 3/4". This shorter one's blade is 7 3/4", OAL of 13"...

Some biggish blades I forged out for the Blade Show. This one is the second of the blades inspired by Chris Redfield's Resident Evil 5 knife that I've forged. The steel is 5160, handle is black TeroTuf with flared stainless steel rivets. Blade length is 16 3/4", overall length is 21 3/4" I...

So, some of y'all might remember the carcass splitter I made a while back. Well, I made a couple more. :D I wanted these to be wider blades, more like meat cleavers and less like a Chinese pole arm. The original was forged from 1/4" x 2" 5160; these were forged from 1/4" x 3" 5160. The...

I like the addition of the upset top guard. There's a lot you could do with this basic idea.

Came out good!
