Well, I am the proud owner of this bad boy.

As Max stated I pretty much gave him carte blanche on this one save for the request of retaining the blade's original character.

What Max didn't tell you is I specifically bought this blade with Max and his skills in mind. I would say I made one of my better decisions on this one. Took me a while of searching on the Bay to find one in my price range and condition, but it helped that I didn't need the blade to have scales!

I am definitely excited to get this blade back and add it to the rotation.

Thanks again Max, you delivered the goods and more on this one and I am extremely grateful for that.
