    Default The Real IXL Diamond Edge

    I really liked the shape of this blade so I wanted to try and save it from the scrap heap.

    I think it come up OK. Scales are a set of W&B Specials I had lying around. I painted some gold into them to make the wording stand out better. I'm happy that I was able to keep the wording etched into the blade.
