Great work, gifted with a huge sense of beauty! At the back of my mind is still nagging the idea of a folder.

It came in a lot lighter than the sword it is based on 2lbs 12oz, still 3/16in thick. The one it's based on goes 5lbs. It's all the the grind.

Wowzers! Just to say: that's the first time that word has even been spoken, even to say escaped me.

That's a pretty massive decrease in weight, wow. Looks amazing.

Looks great Lyn, the fullers came out sweet! Those must have been a pain to grind in. (Though I still have that very nice grosse messer from you. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ) Yeah, you beat me to the punch on that one.

Well, I AM on the fence about whether to put it up for sale on my "minimizing" trek. Not that I want to tease you--it's still about 60-40 I decide to keep it. ;) But keep an eye out on the Classifieds in case I do list it.
