The Ripper

Awesome :thumbup:

The name 'Ripper' and the blade design reminds me to the mysticity of a Keris! Even the handle looks so mysterious! It has a very raw and wild beauty in itself!

Congratulation Tai .. and thanks for showing it :thumbup:
 
Thats the kind of out of the box piece I have come to expect from Tai Goo for the last 20 years! NEATO.

Not my style, but NEATO.
 
Man, you could really gig a mutha with that one! ;) :)

Nice work, Tai. :thumbup:
 
Hmmm..... I want to call it Xanadu. Why? Samuel Taylor Coleridge's vision poem "Kubla Khan" carefully describes supernatural Xanadu (the emperor's pleasure dome and the special place where it was built). Xanadu is exceedingly beautiful, and exceedingly dangerous as well.

Many artists have attempted (and failed) to render Xanadu, possibly because of the great difficulty in fusing equally powerful elements of beauty and danger in such a way that neither is diminished or dominated by the other. Beauty and Danger in perfect balance...

The artist who can accomplish such a thing might naturally be regarded with awe - and even fear - by those from whom he is separated by his inspiration and ability.
 
the "Voodoo Chile aka Ripper" is REALLY/scary sharp - I got this cut from just taking it out of the box :eek: - it's now in my "grubby wittle" hands for a sheath :cool: .....

now if I could just get past the "flu" bug (103 fever and all the "rest") I might just get this one done ASAP....:grumpy: - keep an eye out.........
 
I cut myself on it too partner, nothing serious, but enough to remind me that it was real sharp... It went right through a glove and the blade was also wrapped in a dry wash cloth.

... can't wait to see the sheath.
