Title: blade
Post by: mullet on June 04, 2010, 08:08:38 pm

 Here's a blade I beat out yesterday. It is a little thicker than what I wanted, but with my track record beating on Obsidian I decided to quit. It has some pretty greenish bands running through it. Here's the good, the bad, and ugly pictures.

Good lookin blade Eddie.  I think obsidian needs to be a little on the thick side.

 I'm thinkin like Wade though...If I had coral, I wouldn't be messin with any obsidian.

Nice blades !   I don't know as thick or thin matters all that much,it's all about the edge (nothing sharper than obs). you can shave with an untouched edge,(or cut your self to the bone). ' Frank

     Maybe that is what I need to do, just stop, when I get the shape I want, and leave it thick.  I can't get a blade where I want it, without breaking it. :(  Oh, how well, I know how sharp Obsidian is!
