Greetings everyone from this Fantastic forum 
 
 
Been absent for a while in lack of a topic.
 
Some of you, gentlemen, may remember my visit to 
http://www.arscives.com/bladesign/visit.aranyik.htm Aranyk which 
Mark so kindly linked to his website.
 
That blade I bought there at LungSom has meantime been heat treated and the fittings were done here in Macau, and it is now in the final stages of completion.
 
Here's the concept.
 
 
and here is the blade after heat treatment 
 
 
and finally the blade and the almost-finished scabbard, superb work by Nathan Creel.
 
 
I will now go on in the next post
