Tate Roth Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I would be proud to stick that in my sock. Absolutely lovely. It seems like there aren't too many pattern welded sgians out there. Steel is my canvas, a hammer my brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard van Dijk Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thanks for all your great comments guys. I would be proud to stick that in my sock. Absolutely lovely. It seems like there aren't too many pattern welded sgians out there. Tate I am working on that one, there must be a lot more of them around these days, at times it seems to me it is the only thing I am making. Have a look at my link below you will see quite a few more. Richard Richard van Dijk My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
