Sorry DP

Fantastic workmanship, as said a real heirloom. I hate to think how many man hours went in to making it!

Congratulations for commissioning with Vince.I keep missing affordable opportunities of the aftermarket but have a couple of knives. It is always a treat to see new Evans pieces.

While at the show, Gus graciously allowed me to thoroughly check out the sword. The craftsmanship and the attention to detail are without equal, a truly inspirational piece.

Thank you Gus

Great piece! I can't even guess what something like that would cost!! Since Nick helped unsheathed it, maybe he will be making a Wheeler sword in future?

Congrats on the beautiful sword Gus. I'd have a hard time refraining from taking it out in the yard and chopping something.

 

[Berno]

Joe, merci for the video, I have no words... just a big WoW !!!!


A question, how many days to creat this "merveille" ??

 

[Bastid]

Hello Berno,

Vince started forging the Blade in November and finished the sword in mid May

 

[Berno]

Merci, for the information, it is good that today it is still possible to make of incredible piece..

 

[NickWheeler]

It was so great to see my friend Gus again!!!

And the fact that he let me handle this CRAZY AMAZING work of art was just icing on the cake. Vince is such an unbelievably talented bladesmith. I really don't even know how to describe this piece other than to say it is jaw dropping, crazy amazing, AWESOME!!!!!

Thank you Gus!!!
