Dave Stephens Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dude. That is a *bad* looking blade. The harpoon tip is something I haven't seen before. I like it. Did you quench it in pure testosterone? LOL Nice job dude. Really clean grind lines. --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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Salvati Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Did you quench it in pure testosterone? LOL--Dave Yeah really, that is like the V8 hemi of knives! Nice work Stephen! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Erwin Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Very nice. cool look to the mark as well, So what's the origin of the Crowbar, I remember you used that as the name on some earlier knives, and then the F on your previous amrk was one. The blackwood you've been getting is a bit brown compared to some I've seen, is it out of a certain location?
