hey everyone!



just trying a little something new. i know i've made one or two in the past, but i feel that the design was lacking and needed a little more flow. i thought and sketched and sketched and thought, and then it came to me



i took an old blade design that was a standard for me when i first started (typical cool blade and handle.. just a bad non flowing combo together) and re drew it; which seems to be my new thing. i really just curved the spine a little and lined it up with a handle, a touch of grinding, heating, and wrapping later....
