    Thanks , no, you didn’t miss the size as I didn’t give it. Doesn’t really matter as your imagination makes it more fun than an actual measurement. Just pretend it’s a monster and enjoy.

    As if you’d say ,,,, ah ,,, it’s a 1/16 th smaller than I thought. Would it make a difference? Would you really care? It’s just fun size.

    It's the only one I have seen that has the full original profile intact. A lot of these you see left more at an 8/8 or 8/8+. My best guess is since it is actually quite finely ground at the business end many ate damage that had to be honed through. For me, these are pretty much the ultimate Rodgers.

    Stunning work as usual. Love to see your works again.

    This is the original shape of the blade?

    Usually you see them in various stages of height loss up front because they are actually quite finely ground at the edge and above so they aren't as forgiving of knocks as wedges
