Thanks for the additional images Lin. Seeing these tests in person is so impressive. I remember seeing a program on TV years ago that showed a bladesmith forge a blade from a large ball bearing and go through the testing tasks with it. At the time I was so shocked that the knife was capable of this kind of performance, even if I was almost apauled that it was destroyed. Seeing the capabilities of that knife impressed me then as it does now with these pictures.

Thanks a lot guys, it was agreat experience as well as an honour and a pleasure to have Lin administer the test. I'll have the video footage up on my YouTube channel soon.
Nice video Stuart. Congratulations are in order sir.
I've been following your work for some time now. It is always inspirational.
