As Ron just said, a beautiful piece. I especially like the elongated horse-hoof pommel. I haven't ever seen one with that type of elongation. It gives the whole thing a more graceful look. I personally like a more darkened blade. I do most of mine that way even though it's not traditional. I just think the contrast between high and low carbon areas makes a blade, at least for me anyway, more visually appealing........Dave.
