Shhhhhh....Angel! I've made lots of customers happy with the bigger blades and they are fun to make. Never carried a big one unless I was competing in a Seneca Run match. Was taught at early age that if anything needed over 2"-3", get the axe. Seen an awful lot of deer and hogs that look like someone used an axe. Always used a pocket knife myself.
Mike - Bet you couldn't stand to watch it long. Been doing the Blade Show some 20+ years and always puzzled by the stubby crowbars that sold well. Just because someone used mastodon tooth, MOP or ivory for the handle and put a dazzling mirror polish on them. Sure, I know they will never see real use, but they are so ugly and the weight would pull one's pants down.
