Dave Stephens 489 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Beautiful fit an finish. The scales are really nice wood too. --Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to post Share on other sites
Racca 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 That is a really beautiful blade, my friend. Racca I have heard that those who celebrate life walk safely amongst the wild animals. When they go into battle, they remain unharmed, the animals find no place to attack them and weapons are unable to harm them. Why? Because they find no place for death in them.
