Wow!   Beautiful.   I love the first picture with the little one's reflection in the grind.

Thank you 😀

Pat B, I like to think so too but there's still waaaaayyyy more to learn.


Parnell, I used dragons tongue. The witch I bought it from didn't tell me that using it would trap my son in the blade though. Oh well

Dang stud, your really coming along fast. Nice edge.
