our's truly has finished a hell of a year, and it's not even going to be done until May 22nd because someone is being charged with three counts of contempt of court. Panty is no longer my 6 and I am the boss of me(well Nessie is). Basic divorce finalized February, House flooded in the basement due to a broken pipe, completed a pair of camp kwaiken's, two knee surgeries, then just as the year was closing an I thought things were going to be good, Bulleit, my 15 year old pit had a stroke and had to be put to sleep. I am a walking charlie foxtrot right now, and trying to get my shit together and get back to forging handmade blades.

The request was: Rustic looks that evoke the Hawaiian lava flow. A old Punk rock buddy from Hawaii asked, and a GI I served with in Afghanistan wanted one too. They are as stated by the customers,"Ho brah, fuckuh nasty sharp", and "Dude, this thing is nuts sharp, wow!" The choil is cut for a firestick and the scales are flat for tieing into a spear.
Im getting 308 gun barrels cut in half then into 4" segments, got a few sticks of 1095 and 52100 so a few things are in planning for the forge

Prayers for a better year! Have you ever made a filet knife?
I have made a small paring knife, but I am not yet at going for thin blades. I need more practice forging to shape and getting my ricasso's right and my bevels better

Smok and Whiskey on Sunday night keep me sane...for the most part, and dark humor from friends keeps me laughing
