The "Forsaken Mistress" Riddle Solved!!! . . . $750.00 In Total Prizes!!!. . . 5 Winners!!!

So we have a name! but what is in a name? .... Imaginations are running wild!
So this piglet associates "Mistress" with a big blade, a sweet, long legged beautiful piece of sexy slicer ~ one that can cut you deep if you're not careful with her.... So I ask, what is in a name?

Can't wait to see this one, holy craps. Resistance is futile.

What could it be... new cbt pattern? More humps? More sweep to the blade? Busses second longest fuller (gladius is longest) ?
 
I wrote a poem about the Forsaken Mistress, I hope it inspires a handle detail or small shop discount:


To His Forsaken Mistress
By: Damascus Bowie
I do confess thou’rt smooth and fair,
And I might have gone near to love thee,
Had I not found the slightest prayer
That lips could move, had power to move thee;
But I can let thee now alone
As worthy to be loved by none.

I do confess thou’rt sweet; yet find
Thee such an unthrift of thy sweets,
Thy favours are but like the wind
That kisseth everything it meets:
And since thou canst with more than one,
Thou’rt worthy to be kiss’d by none.

The morning rose that untouch’d stands
Arm’d with her briars, how sweet she smells!
But plucked and strain’d through ruder hands,
Her sweets no longer with her dwells:
But scent and beauty both are gone,
And leaves fall from her, one by one.

Such fate ere long will thee betide
When thou hast handled been awhile,
With sere flowers to be thrown aside;
And I shall sigh, while some will smile,
To see thy love to every one
Hath brought thee to be loved by none.
And swing that blade at neck's height;

Special thanks to Sir Robert Ayton for the inspiration.
 
I was so close to saying she was the MISTRESS of a park,...but that wasn’t the riddle...ack...
 
Congratulations to the winners! A Forsaken Mistress better be INFI and I'm sure she'll be a badass!
