Profiled and ground this blade Friday for an order. Just need to drill the pin holes and do a little file work, change the shape of the tang a little and it will be ready for heat treat. Right at 12 3/4" overall.

I didn't realize that was damascus. That is going to be very cool. I'm tuned in.

That top one looks good too. I really like the profiles you come up with. You might should make a template of that one for future reference cool

Hetman, I won't speak for Mr Conner's customer but I have one that Mr Potts made from a farriers rasp and it is a brush clearing SOB. It's just shy of 1/4" thick, heavy and shaving sharp.

Good question. Personally I wouldn't have much use for one but it's what the customer wanted so that's what he's getting.

That question is kinda of like asking what use is there for 22 inch Wheels on a 4x4. It is what the guy wanted is the answer...
