Nine Flow

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because
there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

All time classic ‘Theodore Roosevelt’ quote that probably needs no introduction here. Motivation and perspective in a class of its own. Right. Have to say the ‘back up blade’ that I simply wrapped and sheathed from Kevin @kg.handcrafted is just the business. You can see the destructive testing subjected to that exact blade on Kevin’s feed. That Sheathed as a necker alongside my 王狼 ‘Wolf King’ - ‘Ō Rō Shinken Naoshi Tantō fashioned from a piece of considerably old 玉鋼 ‘Tama Hagane’ that still bears some ‘dings’. It’s a heavy piece that feels like a ‘Katana’. Unsurprising tperhaps but some similar ‘ones’ I’ve handled felt ‘dead’ to me. Subjectivity. Maybe. As to the backstory regarding many such things - the mind just boggles. These ‘items’ on the way to a most formidable man here.
Friday somehow on the horizon. Hell of a week. The very best of the rest of it to all. 🙏🤙👊
