I haven't been into blades for a long time and don't find many all that interesting but that is thing of beauty. WELL DONE! Awesome.

Getting into bladesmithing myself.. Diggin' the natural "dirty" look. Something about that 'raw' look that makes things standout. Hell, anyone with time and paper can put a polish on ol' plain-jane. Thumbs up brother.

Re: Dark Faith Kwaiken

thanks, gentlemen. i really appreciate the good words. yeah, i like to make things that are very unique. i hate polished and shiny. i bead blasted all the chrome off my last motorcycle and let it rust. gave it that post-apocalyptic look.

Sometimes, the steel is more interesting. Another nice knife.
