I spent 4 hours today making and screwing up the same tiny little fitting for a sword. I think I learned something, I guess tomorrow will tell.

This is a rework of a piece from a couple of years ago. I took the original Pitbull to a show and while cleaning it to lay on the table, I found what I thought was a scratch in the handle. It turns out that the handle ( a really nice piece of Lignum Vitae) had split down the length. I've never had a handle do that. So I moped around and finally split the old handle off (which was not easy, the epoxy I use is really strong) and replaced it with this. So, Pitbull Redux.
