Cheers Robert! Sure's a sweet blade, wedgy grind even though rather light for being a wedge. I like it even though the steel's prob not the hardest around.

Senior Hog: Well done, Sir!! Those scales looks way nice!

I know that most of the American don't have such a lot vacation all the year.

Be patient, Robert, I have some credit cards with me and I'll stay 2 days in Las Vegas!

I totally get it Tom. 3 weeks is a great length for vacation and staying outside the NP hotels is a good strategy for saving $$. You will have fun with Max, I am sure.

Hey Konstantinos,
Great to hear you're doing great and sounds like a nice trip to Europe.

PS: How's Korea treating you (if I remember, that's where you ended up settling for the next few years right)

Great job on those scales HOG maestro. That is a very nice blade and deserves nothing less than the best

Yeap...I hear ya buddy. That's Sheffield steel for you...Softer than some, I guess. But then again, that's why it is one of my favorite steels (the other being Swedish).
