Sam Salvati Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Awesome work Owen and Tod, that is beautiful! What is that wood? 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...

GEzell Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Beautiful work, one look and Wagner started playing in my mind.... Epic. George Ezell, bladesmith" How much useful knowledge is lost by the scattered forms in which it is ushered to the world! How many solitary students spend half their lives in making discoveries which had been perfected a century before their time, for want of a condensed exhibition of what is known."Buffonview some of my work RelicForge on facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPeacock Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I've got a couple more small knife projects that I want to get finished/started, but seeing all of these swords certainly has me looking foreward to future projects. Nice work. Have you ever thought about the life of steel? It's interesting to think that you can control the fate of a piece of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Sheffield Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It's so pretty. My life is like shaving with a razor sharp machete. It's a bit awkward and I feel a sting every now and then, but in the end I'm happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Potter Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Beautiful, a sight to behold. Ben Potter Bladesmith It's not that I would trade my lot Or any other man's, Nor that I will be ashamed Of my work torn hands- For I have chosen the path I tread Knowing it would be steep, And I will take the joys thereof And the consequences reap.

Dave Stephens Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Awesome work Owen! -----------------------------------------------"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...
