Title: sneek peek for Bill
Post by: leapingbare on March 19, 2010, 12:04:49 am

I still have a little more to do but its made it through the dangerous part. The Blade is 18 1/2 inches and i modeled it after the large blade found in the duck river cache. I'll post more pics this week end.

Awsome work.  It does get spooky there at the end, doesn't it.  Every time you hit it and it goes "DING" and you know you are 1/32" from breaking it.  Bill

Post by: leapingbare on March 21, 2010, 11:34:55 am

Oh man that Ding ring ring ring.. I could feel the blade flex every time i smacked it.
