obsidian blade
« on: January 18, 2009, 02:38:09 pm »
This is my biggest blade that I have made to date. It is twelve and an eighth inches long. It has some spots that are a little bit girthy because I had trouble fighting the angle on it. But my main goal was to keep it all in one piece. Hope you like, John

John:  Great blade--looks like silver sheen?  That one could be passed for a ceremonial one.  Watcher

Wow, that's awesome john!  I've never been good at the big stuff, seems like they always break on me.  I don't have my support right on those big ones.
