Here's the first of three blades i recently commisioned from Brian. I'm doing the patina's and
a friend is doing the sheaths. They are all coming along well. If you dont like the shape, blame
me, as they came out exactly as i drew them.
1/4" 1095 theoretically hardened to over 63rc. 7 1/2" blade, 5 1/2" handle. I like Hard steel
and i'll see how this first pointy one holds up.
I'll chop some limbs, make a pile of shavings, and baton the hell out of it and we'll see.
After all that i actually intend this one to be attached to the molle on the back of my SHTF vest.

I want one!
