WoW! Did you make the knife 2 that's some very nice work what steel did you use on the knife . I made a similar one in length it's around 18'' overall with a leather handle and still need to make sheath for it and seeing yours really has got me thinking . Thanks so much for showing it.
Just remember it's you buying the machine with an interest free loan and that's ok as long as you and your friend understand it could take years to pay him back, but all that aside COBRA 4 WITH E.P.S. I have one myself good luck and have fun!
