Well I'll be damned...that looks like it could really be something there, John! How long would you guess it'll take to roll out the next ones? (sorry to be so pushy in the face of such awesomeness...this just really, REALLY makes me want mine!)

Hey guys - I'm back!
Thanks for the good words, Saito! Although... after more than a year getting sword number one this close to out the door, I'm not sure "easy" is an apt description, you think?
Thanks, deejay! You know, I think that the very blade you're lined up for was, in fact, quenched in bacon grease!!! Go figure, eh?
Holy moly, Dave... I'm getting a little excited too! We'll save the big excited for when you unwrap this bad boy and take a swing or two! HooHah!
Thanks, Rob! They say that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"... I think the art on this baby is going to really shine "in the hands of the be-wielder"! (yeah, I just made that up...) And - what deejay said... no wine and candle light, no peens display... hahahahahaha you guys are killing me!!! hahahahahaha
Thanks, Travis! Believe it or not, I want to get a finished Warrior in your hands as much as you do... but after whats transpired with blade one, I am very hesitant to make predictions. But I will double-damn gar-an-tee that it will be one hell of a lot quicker than this one !!!
OK, now some less than good news, and then some really good news... I had to work on a rattle problem in the langettes that just would F'ing not go away. Which ended up with my having to take them back to bare metal, which means they have to be re-patina-ed. Thats the not so great news... the good news is that the fix I finally came up with is as solid as a battle-tank, and now all the metal work is ab-so-lutely finished... and the re-patina will be done by Monday. Just need to wrap the handle and..and...do I dare even think it? Hell yeah!!!
I think next week is going to be a very good week...

I'm not in line for one of these swords, but I think this is a cool project and I really enjoy reading about its progress and seeing the pictures, good work.
