4th update. Last update from Nepal. Looks like I may have to open up the leather bench and make her a proper suit. We'll see if she's worth it when she gets here.  ____________ Pace | |||

Well...she's here and I like her. Tang and scales very well done for a true 3 position grip. She's a bit of a beast weighing in at 1.5 pounds.  With an Esee 5 for size......  ____________ Pace | |||

I like a bit of heft to my field knives. How do the sheathes ride? ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

To be honest, I don't know because I took them both apart already. I'm making a leather backer and dangler for the kydex similar to what I did for the BK9 (here). I wasn't really impressed with the leather one, so I pulled the welt to pattern a new leather sheath. ____________ Pace | |||

That's not a Bowie. That's a short sword. Love the convex grind all the way up to the spine. I'll bet that one proves to be very durable. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Couldn't bring myself to take her in the woods with the clothes she came with, so.... A little cutting...  A little glue...  A little stitching and some color... Now she's ready...  ____________ Pace | |||

Yup. I said, “get me the biggest piece of steel you have in the shop and hammer it into a blade.” You know. For zombies. | |||

Going with a sharpened back edge, acid wash finish, and brass fittings. If it's as nice as my Historical British Service it's going to be a monster. | |||
