Ok my friend you stated pt2 as

"pt2 tomorrow which will be some more daggers (but mostly more utilitarian) and some cooks sets."

which is almost a lie when you look at the great stuff here. These all look excellent.

Todd, you never cease to amaze........

If I could free up the funds, that dirk would be mine. Or, the seax. Or one of the bollock daggers. Or................

Tod, you are the devil with so much temptation... As always your work is gorgeous!

[Leo Todeschini]

Thank you all.

I guess I found a couple of bits I forgot were going to be posted.

I think a couple more pieces will find a home so I will announce these in due course.
