I really like it--can't think of any criticism--I like that simple style for an EDC: just the blade and handle with a prominent choil to keep your hand where it needs to be. I like the simple pouch sheath too--nice combo.

Fiction recommendations (please add yours)
Pete Dirksen replied to Phil Ullrich's topic in Books, Videos, and other Media
The White Company by Arthur Conan Doyle --set in the time of the hundred year war about a company of mecenarys. It reminded me of the last robin hood movie with Russel Crow. -
That's just awesome...pattern, handle material, bolster...understated...just awesome.

I have to bail- my life is crazy busy right now and will be for some time so I have to cut loose all my extracurricular activites. So to be clear-I won't be participating in KITH 2013- Sorry for being a flake.

] My stamp is really simple. If I remember correctly its a germanic rune for "P". I just think its a cool symbol. And I can electroetch it also.

Awesome knife--I bet the 14" version was nice too (I like BIG bowies). Thank you very much for the video. Your forging-to-shape skills are very impressive.

Wow, I think that might be my new favorite sword-knife package. The fuller's awesome--and I also really like the guard on the sword.

I'm with Christopher--I hope springs aren't out--I was looking forward to making a Navaja.

"Did you forge the mini hammer. That's cool. My first blade is in the finishing stages now. I'm going to try the salt water etching method." Hi Brandonbuford yes I forged the mini hammer glad you like it. Electro etching with salt water has worked well for me.
