Welcome to TGO!!

All this speculation would has been put to rest is Alex Jones had not been banned from social media....just sayin'.

I've been there and it stinks. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks so much and 1911alltheway made the beautiful sheath.

I'm willing to take some things in trade for this blade. How much allowed will depend on what you have and in what quantities. Things I'm interested in.... 1. Wood Seasoned wood is better but species I'm lookin' for are... Spalted wood such as elm, maple, hackberry and others. Tell me what you have. Nicely figured walnut, maple, red oak, white oak Any exotic woods. You may have some left over from a project or from your dad or grand dad. 2. Old stock files such as Nicholson, Black Diamond or even new Grobet files. The files they sell at the box stores won't cut it for me. Primarily smaller files in 6-8-10 inch range in first or second cut. Triangle, square, flat and round such as chainsaw file size peak my interest. 3. Drill bits, cobalt is a winner primarily from 1/8" up to and including 17/64" 4. New sandpaper, good stuff that is wet/dry designed. 5. Bulk flat stock bronze or brass from 1/4" to 1" thick and from 1 1/4" to 3" wide. Tell me what else you have when it comes to metal working....who knows the stuff sitting in you garage/barn may be just what I'm looking for.

Damn...that's right purdy

Are you going to actually enter competitions with it? Reason I ask is it should really be made from CPM 4V steel for it's hardness qualities and is really quite expensive. If you are going to use it more as a camp chopper there are many more steel options available. I've seen some full competition choppers up in the $1000 dollar range. I don't have the ability to properly harden CPM steels but I have the option to send it for hardening to one of the best places in the country.

I never have but see no reason why not. Do you have something in particular in mind?
