Darrel Ralph's version of Michael's Sword.
The first one was made by Hugh Bartrug.
Not sure who did the pic, but they did a great job. It almost does the work justice.

Yep Gus, I have admired that pic for quite some time. Its a beauty alright.

Also, I think (not positive) that I have seen that pic credited to Point7 studios. Might check with Darrell to be sure though.
 
i've spent many hours staring at that picture, it's really like nothing else i've ever seen.

I actually wound up pasting it to my desktop!! Talked to Darrel 'bout it some . . . made it even more amazing!!
 
Isn't this knife over the pond now?
I talked with DDR awhile back about it.
Super knife. Been wanting it since the first time I saw it.
Guess my son being named Michael has something to do with that.
 
Not exactly sure who owns it now. I met the gentleman who commissioned the "knife" through a mutual friend when Darrel delivered it to him at the Blade Show a few years ago ('97 or '98). The sad part of the story is that he passed away soon after that (about 3 weeks). Hardly enough time for him to enjoy it.
 
Yeah I've drooled over that picture also..., what a credit to Bladesmithing!
