just finished up this piece after having it sitting around in my pile of jobs for weeks or longer lol. biggest bowie ive made in terms of mass have done longer and thicker, blade is spring steel 5mm thick, handle is oak guard is brass,

stats overall length :20.5 inches/51.5 cm blade 14.5 inches/35cm

width: 3.1/4 inches/8.5cm at widest point

point of balance: 2inches/50 mm above guard

weight 38ounces /1079grams

surprisingly moves well for a massive chopper still have to get to cut testing but will shred paper with no problem

critical temperature is proof god loves blacksmiths!

Ouroboros: Fascinating. Our weather in Ottawa is guided by the arctic jetstream. When it dips low under james bay. Ontario gets smoked with cold. The great lakes provide an incredible ammount of lake effect snow that usually buries anyone along the St Lawrence Mar 1, 2023 16:20:31 GMT *
