    Default 9/8 monster in purple haze

    What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster, is it a monster?

    I decided to make another monster design blade. I make new designs to get better and more creative. And every once and again I make a replica of something I did earlier, but better. This one is a replica of the monster, but with a much better finish. And all in all, these have a brutish simplicity that gives them attitude as well as make them extremely easy to handle.

    Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

    I really like the profiling on the tail, from the blade back it has character, but nothing crazy. The entire thing is very eye pleasing.

    I agree. I think the paddle tail is very nice. I shave with 2 fingers on each side of the scales, and this design makes that very comfortable. And it does indeed have a nice flow while still not being overly 'loud'.

    It appears to be a "tame monster" to me--very functional, comfortable to hold, a great shaver, and a joy to look at.

    Wowzer Bruno, this one's a real looker! If you took this one to routine production, I don't think you'd be able to fill orders fast enough...

    Good lord, that blade is a beast!
