reddawn 2,173 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 they are seriously impressive blades matey, an i got a feeling they be even better in the flesh so to speak lol a tad too fancy for me tho, its not the price i got a problem with, 45 aint a great deal for a nice knife with a handmade sheath, but im afraid they are just too nice for me, id feel bad if i lost it, not cos a the money i had spent, but more to do with the work you have obviously put in to them, will you be doing any plainer ones? like i already said, very nice an a decent price, they wont be around for long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
