Steven......I plan to have a special T-shirt made up for you for BladeJoe...in case you are not paying attention, or need an interpreter...that means "The new knives are not that bad, but the big bowie is better. Make more like that, maintain your "value pricing", and I MIGHT be interested in promoting your rather doofus-like self".
Best Regards,
STeven Garsson
That knife was an aberation at the time. First time doing the curved "Southwestern" spine, first attempt at hamon, first time trying out the cold bluing for the fittings and it actually turned out ok. The ultimate goal is to be able to do it every time and with better fit and finish. You don't want to know how "value" priced that one was when I sold it back in May or June, but you can get a rough idea by the fact that it was listed for exactly 8 minutes on British Blades before it sold. 
As for the "doofus-like" comment, do not delude yourself, Mr. Garsson. I am an authentic, full blown card carrying doofus and not a doofic....or is it doofesque........... poseur or wannabe. Why else would I be trying to pimp newbie knives in a sub-forum where a goodly number of the members routinely spend more on a single blade than they did on their first car......or in the case of JParanee, spend more on a rifle than some of us spent on our most recent car?
