Congratulations with passing the test! I'm sure you will pass the rest with flying colors. Your copper pattern-welded, black-washed knives are the most beautiful I've ever seen. I'm personally mostly into folding knives, since I have no use for (and can't legally carry) a fixed-blade knife in my day-to-day time, but I really enjoy your channel and your work. The copper/black-washed combination is perfect; a little bit edgy (pun intended), extremely classy, without going overboard on either parameter.

I am constantly amazed by the bladesmithers.

I wasn't nervous when you reached 90 degrees.

Jesus that was intense!
