Nice subtle steel. I like it.

Hey Owen,

What a splendid piece. Hard to say from the picture, but unless I'm wrong I've seen this blade up close. It is of epic proportions for a ballock dagger and the blade geometry is much more subtle that one can see here (the blade is deeply hollow ground on the edge side and the back edge is complex as well).

Hope this one will still be there next time I come around :)

Cheers,

J
