Sweet!, so your making that one for me right?

:D if you wanna buy it sure why not, it's not for anyone in particular.

cool, you've got a lot of control.

do you finish alot of your work? you've seem to got the same problem as me.. I never get any blades done to the point of I would be proud to post some images of it.

Has anyone noticed that appman's output has drastically increased since he got his kmg toy up and running... I love this sword...

Yes, excellent job AM on this and both tantos, you sure seem to be getting better and really good, really fast. Keep it up. Your stuff is as good as the pros.

Thanks guys! Here is a couple shots of the tang and bevels finished up.

Awsome, are you going to do a mirror finish? What kind of handle are you gonna make for it?
