Laminated blades for sale

[Dave Budd]

I've got a few laminated blades left over from last summer's show season and I thought I'd offer them here. They aren't on offer anywhere else, so if you don't buy one from here then you will have to wait until the next show season (which is rapidly approaching!).

The photo really doesn't do any of them justice

Is no 5 the blade I saw(drooled over) when I was down over the summer? It was mightily pretty! Alas no cash around at the mo. Still not forgot to do the promised write up just been mightily busy, all will be explained when I do!

 

[Adze]

Hi Dave, blade arrived safe and sound today - it's absolutely exquisite! Going to have to think quite carefully about handle and sheath to do it justice methinks.

Cheers!
