Brief History on Achilles:
Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus and the Nereid Thetis. He was thought to be the mightiest of the Greeks who fought in the Trojan War, and was the hero of Homer's Iliad. Legend says that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. Since he died due to a poisoned arrow shot into his heel, the "Achilles' heel" has come to mean a person's principal weakness.

The design of this particular sword was styled after the sword Achilles used in the move “Troy”.

Thanks everyone for your great comments! :D You don’t realize how much it means to me to hear your comments. I really work hard and try to create something I believe people would enjoy. Ok. Enough mushy crap. Should have the video out tonight. I think you’ll like it… put good fighting clips from Troy in it.

JPrice, Boy it is a small world. Mrs. Price was my son’s favorite teacher. He really liked her class. Glad you enjoy my knives and videos. Hope you like the next video. I actually missed the knife show a couple weekends ago. Already had plans to go to the circus with my kids. I’m definitely going to try to be in the next one coming to town. The last show I did was great.
