El Cid


My buddy Ralph Tuttle let me pick up a piece of his art work for the show. This piece is called "El Cid" a 14th century short sword. It is an interesting piece and well suited for the blade show in Eugene, Oregon.
(I hope my table is big enough.)

Pre~Show Preview

Well, It's finally here, well almost...Show time. It's at the Eugene Oregon Fairgrounds Saturday and Sunday April 12&13, 2008. Come see us at table B 12.

These are Gordian knot blades that are acid etched, to accentuate the patterns in the blades. I just fitted them with forged nickle guards and rose wood handles.



I might make a reappearance with the saber style fighter and maybe a Hunter style.

I will also take an assortment of hammer finished blades before any grinding is done.
