<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 11254762, member: 76316"]A case could be made for this to be more appropriately shown in Metalwork. Decisions about such finicky minutia are wholly beyond this mortal. Weight is just shy of 2 pounds; it's 3/8" thick, the teardrop notch is 2 1/2" long an' ~5/8" wide. Both the forked end an' the teardrop have been nicely chisel-cut so the inner faces are properly angled for grip...quite an example of straightforward blacksmith craft, IMO. I've had it for years; not that I'll ever need it, but the simple beauty of this utilitarian tool captured me on first sight...I believe I had to give a Buck for the pleasure of its permanent company an' comfort.</p><p>For your pleasure an' comments, good folks; Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]539581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]539586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
