thanks guys. i cleaned up the jasper one and put some notches in it. still gotta figure out how to get them deep notches you guys are getting. i seem to round em over as i get deeper. i'll post a pic later of what im talking about. and the reason im getting em thinner is because i never think they are thin enough. then i take a pic and realise they are.  ;D

Jamie, very nice work.as usuall ;)

i really like the looks of that jasper one.
i need to get me some jasper adn beat on that for awhile
seems like i enjoy the harder materials more,maybe its cause i can realy hit it and not worry to much about wrecking it
after awhile a guy dont even notice the bruises as much either ;D
