I've another coming in the mail...

My plan was to buy it Monday so the anticipation would keep the monkey at bay. It's worked, but too well. The seller is putzing and hasn't even mailed it yet!

Monkey not pleased. The weekend is long.

Hehe ... I have been waiting all week on a Japan Frost Dagger to ship. Finally did today ... must be one of those once a week shipper sellers huh!
May be the same seller. I believe it's called, "It's The Holiday Season so Expect Slower Shipping Everyone"! lol!

Gotta go, it's calling to me now!

Nice Marco! At what point does it become a folding sword?

Love the one handed action and the distinctive sound the axial lock makes when the blade locks open or shut.

At right about 5", Kerry, where the handle starts!

Madmarco wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2024 10:55 pm As it turns out, Dog, we were both wrong, in actuality the blade is 4 1/2" from tip to bottom tang. And, 5 1/2" for the handle from butt-end to top of top bolster, = 10". What part of this are we having trouble with?

I think he finds it hard to believe a sword would only be 10" long, Marco. he's going for the 10 footer!

O.K., O.K., I get it, thanks Kerry.
Just another instance where the Dog was rattling my cage and it went right over my head. I'll catch on someday!

TOPDOG is a champion cage rattler, Marco! That's why we like him!

Madmarco wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2024 8:58 pm Oh, I see Kerry, has he not heard about synonyms or acronyms or whatever that term is that describes something sarcastically, you know, it's like when one describes a 10" knife as a "sword" in an attempt to make the readers realize just how large it really is? "Champion Cage Rattler" or not, he should know this! And who says we like him, heck, that's for amateurs, we love him! I sure hope you guys know I'm trying to be funny, again!
I'm feeling very frosty today, must have had a decent sleep!
