Here's another from the Captain; an older 12-8 missing a sheath. Sent it to the "Gang" along with the left over FWI from the Smitty project. Mud being himself finished it off. Hell of a good project and a companion BMK followed with the last piece of ivory.
Everyone of them is very special. I really like FI.

It's a stock Thorpe brass lugged hilt forward except a blade modified with a parry strip by James Behring. Handle is FWI tip, with matching brass sub-hilt. Also the idea behind the build. Bo's first Smith.
