Thanks for the kind words, Rab. Of course I have made a living bladesmithing for twenty years now, this past January. So they really 'should' be good, eh ?

Thanks for the opinions guys. I wish more would have participated, so as to get a little more idea. Or maybe I over-estimated the number of DIY types for this kind of thing. Anyway, thanks to everyone who did vote, and post. I do appreciate it.
