Excellent job guys! Great article & reviews Chad.
Nathan, your illustration showing the blade geometry of the ballock dagger is an awesome professional touch.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. It was a fun set to work on. I always learn something in the process of writing these articles. My only worry was that the heavily Scot-centric theme would only interest a small group. I think I was mistaken. 
Stephen,
I agree about Nathan's illustration. It's even better than what I was looking for. He does great work.

Great work! Chad.

Patrik,
Thanks! I took a bunch of pics, but I'm not sure any really show the cross-section toward the tip. In profile, it looks fairly plain. Viewed from the spine or at an angle, it's pretty cool. I'll check my pics at home later to see if I have anything good to post.

Patrik,
I couldn't find any good angles at home, so I took some more pictures. It's tough to really show it though.
I have to leave for the airport in an hour and a half, so I don't have time to crop them down and make them look nice. I'll try to post them next week.

I can wait Chad
The funny is, in a fast look on it (Blade) its just look as a simple blade,
but in the review, it full of hidden stuff and function's, a really eye opener

To a certain extent, it does only interest a small group, but the same could be true of focusing on Oakeshott XVI's or Mortuary swords, or anything else. My focus is not on things Scotish, but I still find the articles and reviews worth reading. Besides, the update about Oakeshott XVI's was as close to being tailor made for me as is possible; I figure it is someone else's turn. Share, that's what my mommy always said.
Really liked the ballock dagger review. I thought I that was one weapon that I could forego, now I want one. Is there a disclaimer somewher on this site that says something to the effect of "reviewers and writers will not be held responsible for indivuals who, inspired by such reviews or articles, spend all of there money on really cool stuff."? Maybe there should be.
