    Nice shape, very interesting! Did you make the blade yourself? What kind of wood is the handle?

    Interesting grip. How does it feel in the hand with that pointed top?

    It's some oak I had, it feels pretty good in the hand smooth. He picked out the shape he wanted
    No I did not make the blade, that is one thing I cant do..

    Nice.

    That is a pretty pointed top, though!

    Handle reminds me of a wasp's abdomen a bit. Very cool looking.
