Bruce visited my shop for the week after Blade. During this time he forged his damascus then forged it to shape heat treated and ground and finished his MS performance test blade. Only one blade was made. the results are in the video.

Congratulations Bruce!
I won't make any comments on the legs since I have no room to talk.
But.....after chopping the 2 by 4s it looked like someone shearing a sheep when you were checking the edge.

Just teasing.
I am glad to see you do so well.
I hope you have an enjoyable flight back home.

Bill,
You are a good teacher/mentor.
I'll bet you are proud of Bruce.
