Just a quick attaboy to one of my peeps.
My friend, Swedish Swordsmith Peter Johnsson, made several of the weapons featured in the new HBO series. This includes the one shown here. I've known Peter for a quarter of a century and I don't know where the time went. He's a master of the craft, who made both of the weapons in my avatar. It's great to see friends succeed in their passions.
I didn't know Peter had been involved. When I watched the first episode I thought, "That looks like Peter's work." Well, there you go. Most of the swords in Game of Thrones looked like something that belongs on the wall at Third Planet. I noted a big improvement when I saw the first trailer for this show, now I know why.
