Worth every minute by the looks of it. Now how about a sheath?

That's a fine blade. I really like the way the color of the bronze harmonizes with the oak.

I just asked. He doesn't have a sheath made yet and is debating kydex or leather. I've put my vote in for leather as I feel it would create a nice rustic look.

Piper, thank you! I will pass that along to him.

Very very nice. He must be proud of it. To me, anything made by your own hands must have special meaning for them. Congratulations on a labor of love. It looks great.

Beautiful work! I'd go with leather for the sheath. Definitely an heirloom piece. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, leather for the sheath.

Very nice piece indeed, one to wear proudly!

Don't suppose he's taking any orders is he?

A very nice item which he obviously put a lot of himself in to. Makes my shop bought one look very second rate.

Wow, I really like that. The proportions have a real pleasing restfullness and the handle just enough decoration to be interesting without overtly showy. Just deadline nice says it best.
