Thank you! I did much of this by hand, and I think it shows. It's not perfect, but I learned a lot from this one. For starters, until reading a bit on draw filing, I never understood how it cold be faster than by machine. Boy was I surprised when I actually sat down and tried it. Other than the profile cleanup, which was minimal (my smithing skills are improving), buffing, and profiling the handle this was done by hand.
