I forgot to explain how the drop swing works so maybe I will do a tutorial and show how unique this method is  ;)...thanx Ken Wallace for showing me...I want to get away from copper and this method works well for me especially because I adapted to freehanding it..

I really like that shape, Russ. It makes an efficient blade design for knife work. Looks like you got it good and sharp too! Nice work!

Seems like I have a video clip with him demonstrating this at a knap in from a few years ago. I'll have to locate it and watch it .
