Dick Sexstone Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Petr & Owen, This has been so much fun to watch ...and educational as well... Petr your "realness" gets more real with each one you do you have a connection to the past that has seeped into your soul spills out .. Sooo Nice... thanks for showing & telling Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Utterly awesome, guys! Dick, you ought to try working with Petr. If his beard burned any brighter you could see it from YOUR house! Leading scientists of Europe are at a loss to explain the occasional midnight sun seen in the regions surrounding the Czech Republic, visible from London to Rome. Of course, WE know what it is... I can't wait to see the scabbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekishev M Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Exquisite detail Petr. I really like this one. Last year I had a chance to hold in my hand some of Owens langseaxes at the Gembloux knife show in Belgium. And I must say, they were definately one of the nicest blades at the show. Please show us a picture of the whole finished sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin KC Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Petr, happily I live only a short distance from Owen (& visit often) so I'm more than happy to confirm that he is indeed a great maker of these types of blades, but you have turned a great blade (by dint of your great handle & fittings) into a stupendous sword! Hats off to you both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petr Florianek Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yeah, thanks guys! I had little bit of waste time as my friend wasnt able to come with acceptable leather work, which took him two weeks. Now i will have to make it myself. Its bad as i hate stitching, its good that i will have control on the result :-) I will keep you posted GULLINBURSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your respective talents compliment each-other. Thank you for sharing this process with us. It is lovely when something this complex falls into place. beautiful kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.

Dave Stephens Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 WOW!!! I don't know how I missed this. Fantastic work, Petr/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...
