Recently finished blade. Don't have the specs as I'm at home and the blade isn't...sorry. Will post if anyone is interested. Comments always welcome. Many thanks to those who posted the wip's for providing the impetus to try new work and stretch the imagination.

Thanks to all for for the comments. The feather patterns are a challenge to me, especially the last weld closing the slit for the feather. I don't know why as every other weld goes well, but for some reason, the last is usually the most challenging. So, I keep making that pattern until my skill level improves and it comes easier...or I get bored/pissed off and move on.

Isn't that how we all handle life in general? :biggrin:
