Ok, Brian has mine in hand. You other guys need to hurry up now!

I used to date a girl who made toast like that, too.
small world!

 

[Brian Sargent]

Well, Rick's just being nice. He knows what really happened.

My wife sat on it.

You have to give that blade credit though.

Not many could have handled 3/4 ton blows like that before failure.

 

[Rick Marchand]

Oh snap.... Brian went there!

 

[shane wink]

Sounds like he may need the blade to defend himself we she reads the post!

 

[Brian Sargent]

I'm on my own .... that blade entered no mans' land.

 

[Storm Crow]

Aw, Rick's just still sore about that "rocks in head" comment I made a few days back.

He might be a little nervous, too.

 

[Brian Sargent]

Showed the Storm Crow blade to a few friends and played with it a bit. Everyone loved it!

 

[Dave Behrens]

Hey Brian, mine is on its way, you should get it by tue-wed next week.

 

[Brian Sargent]

That's great Dave!

You put a lot of work into that blade and it shows.

I'm looking forward to "wielding" it .... it's a beast!

I have a feeling it's one hell of a chopper.

I wouldn't know anything about that...

 

[Brian Sargent]

Hmmm ... that Spydie couldn't do that .....

 

[Dave Behrens]

.........or could it.....(cue dramatic music)

 

[Storm Crow]

Really like your blade profile on that one, Dave. A lot like the "quasi-willow leaf" pattern of mine that's probably my favorite bush sword shape to make so far.

Edited to add: And it's obviously one heck of a work horse, Dave.

Thanks. Yea...it's been taking abuse since even before I put the handle scales on. You just have to remember when you are swinging a monster like this to secure your footing, and AIM for your target, because if you miss...it might, just for example...try to bite your leg off below the knee...

Yours looks like it is going to handle a variety of abuse as well. Looking forward to the testing.

 

[Rick Marchand]

Sorry it took me so long to get the sheath done... incoming, Brian!

Pretty cool what you can do with a little plywood, leather and string.

 

[White Feather Blades]

Man that looks great!

 

[J&G-Designs]

Here it is:

Olive drab Kydex to match the handle wrap, two MOLLE locks, and plenty of eyelets to give options for attachment, cordage storage, and the addition of gear storage pouches.

And a shot in hand looking at the false edge. Plenty of steel there to turn over and use as a hammer!

I hope that I haven't been the holdup. Moving shop and getting back functional has been more of a booger and time-waster than I had anticipated. Sure am looking forward to seeing what my blade will do. Sorry about the fellows who are having to drop out; I sure would have loved to have seen y'all's in action as well.

That looks sick! :thumbup:

 

[Dave Behrens]

Brian has had mine in hand for a while now, I wanted to wait for more guys to finish their blades before posting the completed pics of mine. So here it is...
