W W!

That's gargantuan! I like the wood work. Any lamination in the blade?

I ran some hot water over it to see if there was a pattern I didn't see evidence of laminations. I'll have to clean it further and etch it with a stronger solution.

That is one monster of a panabas. A new addition or something you just brought out to tease the rest of us with.

I want one !!!

Best,

Spunjer, Is this the one you are referring to? I wish that I could say that it was mine, but I cannot.

Best,
