Greetings,


The best decisions in life are often those which seem utter nonsense to everybody else, but you. They usually also try to enforce their own perspective on you, depicting your future choice, falsely, a bad one, which will make your world crumble to dust. Don't listen to them, because fear guides their hand! Fear of the unknown path, which needs a leap of faith and iron will from the brave who dares to walk it, following its dream.
What kind of selfish incarnation would advise to let go of your dream? Let go of something which is a ponderous part of you, which defines your very essence?!
Follow your dream, and make your own choice, no matter where may it lead you!

Some say, that motorcycle chain damascus is not possible, because of all the gaps between the links. I was confused and full of doubts. Doubts in myself mostly, but then I tried it and finally after many failed attempts I succeeded and proved the naysayers wrong. It is very possible!

The total length is 27.5 cm, the blade is 14 cm long, 31 mm wide and 4 mm thick, forged of motorcycle chain with 5160 core.
Its handle is made of csere oak with copper accessories.
The sheath is hand sewn of thick cow hide.


Hope you guys like it :)
