re: #563 LudwigVanQuixote

Changing topics a little I have broken down and decided to add a more elegant weapon to my collection.

[Link: www.artmuseum.gov.mo…]

I am not getting this one exactly, with the full san mai construction.

I am however commissioning the Zheng Wu forge to make one that has an 80 cm blade of t-10 tool steel, differentially hardened, with a 28 cm grip, and a heavy wood grip core to produce a point of balance about 5 cm from the guard.

I will have the fittings in royal blue and a satin finish on the blade.

Nice.

While camping last weekend, I found I needed something a wee bit more day-to-day friendly. The folder I had just wasn’t “cutting it” anymore.

I ordered this: crkt.com as an EDC pocket knife. Nothing fancy, but it should be a nice solid working blade.
