... I think your big dumb butt is in a heap of trouble for holding back on me with this one!

WOW, bro... that's incredible. Did Spangler make it for you?

...it's just a guess on my part, but this is the one that kept threatening to destroy you, isn't it? Looks like you got the better of it, man. Really, just incredible!




GET ME THE IMAGES!!!!! THESE HAVE GOT TO GO ON YOUR PAGE!!!!!!!

NOW-NOW-NOW-NOW!!!!!

Congrats, bro! Now it needs to see Blade magazine, I'd guess.

Outstanding Mace: A++++++++++

 

[Dan Pierson]

That's really pretty Mace. The blade shape looks more Persian than Bowie to me, but who cares

 

[Mace]

Thanks for the very nice comments guys!


Matt,
You did not just ask me if Spangler made this for me! I don't think he could even pick this up with his tiny little arms.

Anyway....Yes this one did bust my chops....but then again...most of them do. And yes...this is from that steel you sent me.



Thanks again!
Mace

man! what a knife!

 

[D.sylvester]

Nice one Mace as always. Some time you are going to have to show me how you make the frame on your handles then i can make one for normal size hands

Very nice work. What spacer material is that in your bolster?

 

[madams]

Great looking knife.

 

[GibsonFan]

What is the spacer made of, and how did you finish the maple? It really looks good, "deep" if you know what I mean. A beautiful knife all-around!

 

[Mace]

Thanks guys!

The spacer is made from copper and was texured with a punch I made from an old nail set.
The maple is from a local saw-mill and I dyed it w/ leather dye cut w/ some alcohol...then many, many coats of True oil. Sanding every few coats.

Dave, There is nothin "normal" about your hands!

mace you forgot to edit that second post and add
"and yes, spangler made this one for me"

you bastid!
nice knife man i love the copper. that thing would look pissa with a sheath with a copper throat and tip. man that would be nice!!! next one right?

but i guess that sheath will have to do.

we gotta hook up and do some forging man. get our hammers running, you can teach me to forge then i'll teach ya how to do it while looking good:thumbup:

you going to ashokan this year man? the wicked wobbly wiggly brige of death doom and dismay thumb wrestling national championship might need a new ref and i wanted to step in. despite the death of other refs inbetween the two competitors. i think i'm up to
