Hey D/R!!!!
Seems like I recall you saying you wished you had thought longer before you chose your handle on bladeforums.
If you would like it changed go to the Service & Support Forum under the General Forums link and ask Spark to change it for you.
You won't be the first by any means.

Edit:
Hit an "r" instead of the "n."

it is called a ricasso or a forte. it was definitely meant to let the bearer choke up on the big blades.

MM: Vikings is loosely based on the life and sons of Ragnar Lodbrok. Inn the moviemm they even have his death "almost" right. He os forced to 'walk the plank' into a pit of wolves in the movie. It was acutally a pit of snakes (must've been imports into England, tho.)

Cheers, Ferrous. I'll run his name through the dogpile and see what comes up. By the way, that was Ireland where St. Paddy cleared out the snakes.

Thanks, Yvsa. The name has kind of grown on me, now. But I'll keep it in mind in case I ever come up with a good name.

Edges not sharpened. Seems that most people didn't sharpen bayonets. But swords are obviously different aren't they? Reading in the latest Tactical Knives that one of the French Generals during Napoleons time supposedly had his troops leave the edge of their swords dull to force them to thrust instead of chop. More mortal wounds with the thrust than the slash/chop. Casualties dead or not demoralize and hinder any army.
