Aaaaaaaaand I am broke. Just ordered my anniversary present--glass for the 300blk--and I STILL have to pay a chunk of it from what left over gear I can sell. If Dan waits til July I can ask for it from my wife as a b-day present  Anyone know any collectors of Chinese antiques?  Nice. What did you get? Aimpoint? ACOG? I have a 300blk with a 9" barrel. Lotsa fun.

What's everyone's experience with 5160 steel?
How is the corrosion resistance, edge holding, etc.? I've got several swords and a spear made of 5160. It does have a tendency to rust if not satin finished, you have to keep it protected and wipe off the fingerprints. It's pretty darn tough with a good HT, and I think it would be great for a big 'ole SYKCO chopper! What kind of spears do you have? I'm a big fan of them. Always thought it would be great to have a nice knife with a good method of attaching and disconnecting from a walking stick (chinese white wax) to make a spear. I'm familiar with the Cold Steel bushcraft version, but am thinking something a little more "knife" like that could stand alone and look and perform decent without looking like it's a spearhead without the shaft.

Right now I only have one spear. It's a one off from Jeff Hedgecock long before he started Historic Enterprises. It's a small leaf style blade. I'll see if I can dig it out and get a picture. A lot of the SCA folk use screw pins so you can take the spear head off quickly and easily.

That's what I did with my Cold Steel Assegai. I've been thinking to pick up the Cold Steel Boar Spear. The entire Cold Steel spear line looks like winners.
