Gentlemen! Here is one secret lurker reporting to the ATrim onehander list too. I already sent a private message to Angus, but this seems like a good time to come out of the closet so that the huge demand for this pointy thing doesn't go unnoticed Advance payment is fine with me if need be. Don Timoteo lurker, lightweight addict

Yesterday, I had help, so I finish ground the handles, and with Eric's help, he got the hand filing done on said handles, and we got the end leather bands and the cord wrapped. Now is just the leather over the top.
Blades are running in the machine, probably about 40% done with the machining. They should go to heat treat early next week.

An early list of folks compiled by shootermike, starts with:
shootermike Dan Dickenson Rammstein ( Florida ) Kreigschwert ( Arizona ) Randomnobody ( West Virginia ) Brenno ( Western Australia ) Maz ( Florida ) Hack Ronin
And Paul gets one for the use of his forum.
So, right there, there's 10.
We have confirmed, Paul, Ronin, and Brenno from Australia, And shootermike, randomnobody, and I believe Maz has confirmed too.
So, I need to find out from Hack, Rammstein, and Kreigschwert if they're still in....... Also need to find out about Dan Dickenson....
Anyways....... looks like four slots not including them.....So...
Glaciersteel, Don Timoteo, Marc Ridgeway, and daigoro can have these slots......
Lets see if we can't confirm these four gentlemen one way or the other in the next day or so......{Hack, Rammstein and Kreigschwert}

Don't forget to tell me by when and how much in which preferred method so I can pay you.
Unless I missed it already being set, rather than estimated?

Since this was pretty much set up here on the forum, I wanted to give the folks who haven't "confirmed" yet a chance to confirm before touching base with everyone else.......
Today, I'll start responding to the PMs and emails on the payment details........
We'll consider it that there are at least two open slots......
Ohh, and I think this came up earlier, but its $300 for the sword, + shipping. So far we have 3 going to Oz, and one to Finland, and the rest seem to be in the States...........shipping in the States will be $25......

Rammstein is in a tight spot:
Yes he can and almost certainly WILL buy the sword, but being having essentially no income to speak of, I can't be certain (pretty sure, but not CERTAIN) that I can get it in time. I'd rather wait for the second batch and give someone else a chance to snatch one up.

Gus Paypalled $300 to you last night....You can apply it as you wish between the two swords... I'll likely pay the balance next week... or at least most of it.

Atrim edge geometry, you say? Sounds good. Would it come with Atrim polishing, fit and finish, and weight distribution as well?
If it did then it would represent the best value for money around.

Evidently I missed the rest of this thread and am about ten years behind everyone else.

Looks like I need to upgrade from casual lurker to serious lurker. I guess I'd best get in the queue for the next run, if there's going to be a next run.

Time for a progress report........
I have 15 of these blades in heat treat right now, hopefully will have them by the end of the week, but there's a lot of aerospace activity there now, and it might take a wee bit longer.....
Guards are machined, need to grind them yet........
Pommels made.........
Handle cores finished, cord and leather bands done, and the skin leather wrapped.......
Of the 15 blades, two are for other projects now, 9 are confirmed for this. There's still two available, which leave two for a clerical error {me}, or maybe something tragic like a crack in the tip.....
