I call bullshit on this one.
No one has ever come up to me because of it.

Loving the satin finish of the metal of the competition dagger we are making for class.
Done by glass bead blasting.
I'm eventually going to temper color mine to be cerulean. (Just pommel and guard)
Blade may be patina'd blue.

I saw #HolyFrit last night once again.
Always worth the rewatch.
It's about the world's largest stained glass window and the struggles to deal with such a project.
I worked on this way back in 2015.
Absolutely worth the watch. It shows for one more week at LAEMMLE in NOHO.

Not a completed competition dagger but what do you all think?
Perhaps calling it 'The Gambler' or 'The Natural' ?

A dumb little video I made is popping off on my TikTok for whatever reason.
Not any of my blacksmith projects. Just a silly little video.

I don't understand the internet.

I think this might be the spur I need to actually make blacksmith content on there...
