Brought the Old girl out for a workout. :D

1:32 Chopping time.

At 18.3 ounces these old ones really move some wood. :thumb:

Yeah the olds ones really do kick some ass. :thumb:

I forgot how good they were until I used it today. :rockon:

Yeah the Timber is pretty hard and I was getting a little tired, but I worked it out. :D

They are out there, but they bring a premium.

I got mine new from Cold Steel in 1995.

This old production seems better than nowadays ones, is it just an impression or a fact?
By the way, the stainless guard looks prettier, and the convex grind and finish is perfect. Nice blade.

It's not an impression, but the current SM III TM's are very good from what I am told by people who own them.
