I fear that may push us from being a collectors forum... to a porn site. ;-)

Nice blade length & intriging balance point, definatly weighed as a fast fighter. {Mind you i never thought it was for splitting kindling!}

Found this photo in my libary, had it for years, not sure where it came from, I think someone asked me about it many years ago.

Look forward to the closeups!
