Congradulations.

thanks, the work on John's website is mostly older works (unfortunately). like any smith he gets better as time goes on, and done quite alot of knife orders back when he began but has been doing far more swords lately.

i hope to be getting some of his differentially tempered stuff in the near future...a good traditional tanto which he has traditionally mounted and polished through odd frog forge (whom make equisit japanese blades and fittings).

glad you like it, it was an absolute pleasure working with him to design this sword, and gained a friend out of it too...

Hey, I don't want to tell you your business, but you want to be careful. From your photo it appears there are Orcs nearby.
