    The blade forged from a chain is pretty nifty!

    Hey, those are some good thoughts. I never considered that I'd get moisture building up in the sheath. I just checked mine, and everything is okay. I used a hard paste wax on the blade last time I sharpened it to help prevent rust . . . seems to have worked.

    That is a gorgeous piece!

    The bike chain origin gives it an added bit of flair as well.
