[black mamba]

Looks like you went through hell to forge that monster!

That'll just make it sweeter when you finish it up. :thumbup:

 

[mike deibert]

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. This picture could have been taken in my shop in Nicaragua. Great job. That's a huge blade. Do you use a power hammer or strikers or did you beat this thing out by hand? Nice work.

Yep, Blood, sweat and tears in that one. We all put a little bit of ourselves into the blades we make. Looks like it will be formidable. Good job, thanks for showing us.

Thanks! In last three days i made many blades and hawks. Toadvine is hand forged piece of wagon spring. Big knife for the times then no rules applied... Blacksmithing is sometimes hard work, but i love it

 

[Bruce Bump]

I thought we lost ya. Dont mind my sick sense of humor. Happy to see you have a soft side and you got that shoe back.
Lets see some more progress on the Toadvine fighter.
