Happy Birthday

James,

Have the girlfriend join Bladesmith Babes here.  If you give me her email I will send her an invitation...I would love to have her tell her experiences learning to throw.  We did an article not to long about about a place in TX that has a Womens throwing contest every year

It looks like a knife that rests at display quite much, so a light buffing on those small scratches should make those bolsters or any other stainless or polished part look like new again. A buffing wheel would probably be overkill for the state it is in, very shallow scratches.

I have to admit I am very fond of the handle design and wrapping, but the blade itself might perhaps loose out to a pure dagger design when it comes to sheer performance. Still a very interesting one, is it a genuine Hibben or made by someone else?
