This is a blade which I started on my own with a little bit of steel I had left over from a short sword that I was (and still am) working on. JD did me the favor of finishing polishing it for me as I was still a student at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and very short on time with finals. Upon seeing the steel JD asked me if he could come up with and make a handle and scabbard for it. How could I turn down an offer like that? The images that follow show what can be created when two individuals combine powers.
