18" Keffeler Sword (K18), AKA The KOD Piece

Same. I may need to negotiate a shipping date with Jo.

Hmmm... I was talking to my friend Clair.

Ms. Voyant thinks there may be a sudden increase in short term PO Box rentals.

 

[Jack man]

Wow, this is great, this is what I want! Yes, that's him!

 

[ftumch29]

I’ll guarantee it. ZA will start even sooner if you buy 2. Just trust me on that

Woo Hoo! Zombie Apocalypse here I come!

 

[Mike157]

Holy Crap! I want one! But you have to be able to guarantee the Zombie Apocalypse will commence shortly after

Judging by many of the drivers I see on the road and folks I see wandering about town, I think it has already begun. Mike

If this is possible I’m in, maybe have it shipped in smaller packages

 

[NUTRAMAC]

Does that mean at least 3 x for you so that we can get closer to that magic 50 x threshold to make it worthwhile for Nathan to wake up early on Saturday June 22nd?

I’m in, and also dead if it arrives at a time when the wife is in.

I don't have many moments when I'm glad I'm not married any more, but Friday might just be one of them...

EDIT: Nathan the Machinist does anyone have pictures of the proto from Blade for those of us who weren't there?

 

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

Ordinarily, I prefer my KODpieces to be a bit more prac-tac -- but I'm still in.

LOL! I don't think you guys are alone. I may offer a delivery service...say a 1,000 mile radius on the East Coast. I could receive, store, and hand deliver to the location of your choice (parking lots, I-95 rest stops, wherever). My fees may appear steep at first, but consider the cost avoidance of divorce proceedings...I mean, you HAVE to look at the big picture. The obvious bonus for me would be having mine buried in a PILE of these things...hidden in plain sight. No better camo.

Could've lived without that this morning.. LOL

Are those two little nut protectors hanging out the sides?

cpirtle I'd love to see what you come up with for a sheath design for this beast. If and when.

Sure, here's a picture of what it won't look like:

I did drive my motorcycle through some ginormous cloud of insects (probably a mile of them) last night, so yes, Armageddon may be here. I think zombies come sometime after the plague?

 

[moparsbob]

The OP shows the blade with a narrow fuller, while this proto blade has a very wide fuller. Will the production version have the narrow fuller shown in the OP?

 

[Ironkid883]

Who cares about the fuller its fricken awesome well done nathan i dont have funds for it but just wow .
I have been mostly languishing on the busse subforum but have heard great things hope to pick up a piece sometime .
Apoca-awesome

 

[Elgatodeacero]

The exact shape of the fuller is critical to top level performance of a short sword.

^ I just see jiggling blubber!

A narrow fuller.

 

[Casinostocks]

Nathan, will clearing brush and undergrowth be considered as an overkill when using a K18?

I'm seriously talking myself to go for 2 x

 

[Casinostocks]

Also, I may have missed the memo on green Terotuf handle scales but may I ask why green? Is that you have come across a large batch of the TT on green, or just wanted something a bit different? It looks like OD green to me!
