gorgeous. did I spell that correct? who cares.. that sword is class! did I read a post about your intensive hand finishing? either way, this is super!

thanks - I don't know if you read a post, but to polish something like this takes 40 hours or so of hand work with abrasives and etching, etc. That is, if you don't accidentally ding the polish along the way... its 30 to 40 hours minimum. This is the main reason that most of the stuff I make is only about 12" long!

take care,
