I'm travelling out to Vancouver at the end of the month and plan to put the game on for a bunch of fiends out there - its a very good beer and pretzels game.<br /><br />BTW, I really like the sculpting that you do.

It was on the website for a dealer of antique blades, mostly old military swords and such. I have no idea if it was a movie prop, or something that was made recently, but the description read 'Satanic Ritual Dagger made from French (Gras?) Bayonet'. That piqued my curiosity. Not enough to buy it though...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035952842173994550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-42245903549668460852012-08-27T17:06:52.495-06:002012-08-27T17:06:52.495-06:00Thanks Juan!
