Nice work Lon! Really like the Mini-Brutes. Bummer about that sheath... I guess they are some real stabby mothers!

 

[BladeScout]

Big fighter looks great, Lon.

Really like those Mini Brutes too. They look super.

Scagel handled sushi knife?? this is a custom order the guy has MASSIVE hands so the only way to get the handle right is to do it how Scagel did his with the handle high on the tang

the inlay work is supposed to be "nasty" according to google translator
