I can vouch for this one. I've already ordered one from him, and it is absolutely amazing. Hefty, good weight, razor sharp (done nicked my hands once or twice) and beautifully made. Definitely worth the money.

Earlier in my smithing attempts I had already failed miserably at forging a similar blade. Belbarad actually inspired me to try again. Thanks man. It is a lot of fun to watch this one form under the hammer.

Re: Smith's Knife for sale
Not a problem. I just picked up some leather from Tandy today and I'ma be making a sheath for it, too. I can't say enough good things about it.

I've still got this knife. I'm holding on to it until either a forumite picks it up or I get enough of a collection to set up a booth at a gun and knife show.

I'd kill for a pair of those. They look amazing. I really wish I had the money.
