I am interested in that maple colored big knife!

Lost my mum last year, to pancreatic cancer, I feel you. Awesome way of honoring your dad

Hi Bob, I may also be interested in a blade blank or two, shaped, hardened, rough cleanup done. Could you PM me pricing, details, etc? Thanks!

Hi Geoff, I'm interested in one of the two blades on the right. I'm leaning toward a "kitk knife," but am also considering having you do a scotchbrite finish, guard/handle and a basic sheath (which I can dye and seal). How much would either option cost?

Awesome thanks all! Time to get dusty!

Actually it does, sounds pretty easy, I will give this a go tomorrow. Gotta find the gloves now

Hi all, I am in the process of finishing up my forge, and need to cut a hole in the 1" inswool liner for the burner flame to propagate through. Would metal shears work, or is there something better to use?

Do you know of a heat treater, or how much it would cost to get it heat treated? I'm interested, if I can work out the HT details. Maybe Sam/Baltimore knife can help out.

Hi Jim, I will take the top one. I will also PM you. Larry

Hi Matthew, I'm interested in the longer of the two arming sword blades. I'm also interested in how much it would cost to have you put a handle/guard/pommel on it, as well as a basic leather sheath. Larry
