CA Banned AK-47

I finally was able to figure out a way to get my AK back from Ban(my fault, not his). He sure does some great work. It is now a worthy contender for the BRKT Northwinds. I feel it is really showing it's full potential now and is a very usable sword. It's stupid sharp now. That's a good thing in my book btw.

Here's some pics.

WOW.
awesome stuff!
great pics Ted.

That INFI takes a wicked edge! Now that's a real sword. Ban does beautiful work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Real sweet, looks real dangerous too.

Perfect.

Not perfect because it is not in my hands!

But, it is in mine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So it is not perfect to me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ...

Nice.

Very.

ok, very nice.

Beautiful Ted! I like it a lot!

Sick arse sheath there as well...

Thanks, it's still my favorite sheath. I've only seen a few others that are comparable to it. IMHO, of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on the Banned AK! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very nice indeed!

Ban is the man! Almost forgot,those photos rock. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Thanks guys. Here's some before Banning and better shots of the sheath by Dwayne @ Armoralleather.

obscene sexual content. the FCC's gonna shut down the yard cuz of you, ted.

How much is a AK 47?

1K-2K, or so on the secondary market. Not cheap!

Wow, much better post Banning. That is a great looking sword and sheath combo.

Word is that this is what happens when you cross paths with an AK-47...

That is beautiful Ted!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ted man, that is such a beautiful piece of INFI. I have always wanted one of these. Very nice pictures too bro.

The AK is fantastic but also fantastically ugly especially if you are used to Ninhonto(real prewar katanas). I would love to take one even farther than Ban by
machining off all the guards so I could fit a traditional style handle and tsuka and do a nice wrap. I would definitely want Ban to do the edge.

I do have a sword similar to what I want with an AK It is not Infi but it is really good spring steel that can chop cement easily and a beautiful silk wrap.

I actually don't like traditional katanas. Sorry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Cartman and Butters do love their Japanese knives...

Ted,

That has taken a whole new look thanks to the "Ban" effect. It really looks incredible. Those thin strips of print it effortlessly cut speak volumes to the character of that stick of steel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Enjoy that short sword and wear it in trips in the wilderness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


Peace.

I neeed some knives to be "Banned" myself...

That AK looks really sweet.
Man, that Ban character sure does a sweet job.
I heard through the grapevine that there's been a new addition to the Ban clan in the last little bit.
Wonder where he finds the time to do such sweet work.

Cheers

i think i need to inspect it and check the edge...please send it my way and i'll get it right back to ya!

i might leave the country for that blade!

That sheath is wicked! I had Dwayne make me a shark skin inlay sheath a few years ago for my INFIcoot. It looked pretty good, but not as great as your sheath!
