So, I decide to merge two of my favorite hobbies. Dagorhir and Shivs/Shanks. I have always enjoyed making shivs and shanks. I spend my freetime at work in the tool room fabricating new parts for equipment at work, or making little things like kunai, spikes, shivs, shanks, and small knives. I decided to make several to go with my Dag character. I decided that Orrin should be a field surgen. Being an Urk means that his equipment would not be the cleanest or most well made. So, here are a few of the ones I have made so far.

Little of column A, little of column B.
At work, I am encouraged to familiarize myself with the tools and equipment. I have a acetacetlyne (sp?) torch, a "hot box", tons of bench top equipment, access to most handtools, a large 12lb hammer head(no handle) that I use for an anvil, and like 8 dif types of hammers.
I use tent stakes for the metal. We have hundreds of them. Most broken or bent. I use hte torch and "HotBox" to heat the metal, then the 12lb hammer head for an anvil. Beat out the basic shape, then use hte grinders files, and sanders to fine tune the shape. Never spent more than 20 minutes on any of them so far.
Those are the only ones I still have, I gave most the others out to friends.

I just might have to do that, Solusar.
I will try to bring several to gates along with a few of the drinking horns, and some spare feast gear. I don't think I will have enough for a merchant spot, but give me a shout at camp and we'll talk.
I am sure I have no idea what you are talking about Oby-wan. Surly there is another weirdo in town supplyin everyone with pointy stuff.

Wow, guess I gotta get my grey arse in gear.
I will have 3 horns for certain, I will purchase more.
The shiv/shanks I will make as many as I can. And I will make a number of different styles.

You know... you don't have to have a *bunch* of stuff for a booth. I prefer to see quality over quantity in the Merchant's Bazaar, every time. And if my demon wants to buy some... well, I think we're going to have to find space for you in the bazaar.
