[Sam Salvati]

I am wondering if the 1/2 price advertisement on the big wak is valid?

 

[Phil Dwyer]

Nice set...the blades that is. Toss the scabbards into the forge first chance you get!

 

[Horsewright]

Urbanite Camo Very nice blades Rick! How did you get the copper pitted like that?

Friday, I was able to hand sand and etch.

I haven't worked on the Damascus blade yet.... that one might not make it to the show.

Uh, how are you getting the wootz-like pattern on those blades? Gorgeous!

 

[Rick Marchand]

That's a ma special recipe, Lazlo......... Gun Blue/Bleach ...... I call it "Blueootz"

Okay.... I haven't called it Blueootz till just now but I like the sound of it.

Beautiful blades, love the finish work.

 

[Rick Marchand]

Dagger done........

 

[Calvin Richardson]

I love the "primitive" look that much of your work has. The amount of detail in each piece is amazing!

 

[Dan Pierson]

That is one sweeeeeet dagger Rick! I like all of this set a lot, just waiting to
see the finishing touches 'cause I'm greedy

 

[tryppyr]

Awesome work, Rick.

 

[wolffbite]

Oh rick... and you were worried!

Awesome stuff buddy :thumbup:

 

[BMK]

[BenR.T.]

[P. McKinley]

Rick - That's pretty damn spectacular! I have to inquire though.... I don't see a solder seam on the habaki.....??? Am I that blind?

There is no seam.... it was hammer worked/stretched onto the ricasso. I have never made a habaki with a seam..... one solid piece, baby!

[P. McKinley]

"Baby"?

Rick. We're friends and all but.......

You know...I keep coming back to look at that dagger. Beyond the obvious and not so obvious technical attributes that I admire, you have a unique and refined artistic sense that really captures me. Man, that's nice work!

 

[RoyalM]

Great work as usual. The one in the middle has my eye though. It looks a cracker mate.

 

[tinkerer]

I am racing to get stuff done for the NYCKS event on the 18th this month...... argh!

I do this every show...... I got lots of time:thumbup:......WRONG:thumbdn:

These are the blades I'm bringing.... I basiscally have a week and a half to finish them out and make sheaths....... wish me luck



I'll post the panic pics as I go.
Rick
