Ohhhh hell yes! This has my pirate spirit reignited. 

I love me axes! :)

Looks good to me! Looks like you dug it up!

How come all the smelly ones end up in the fort? Darn it I am giving in. One way or another I want to camp this year for atleast a few of the nights.

Where is mine? Purpleheart!

Darn...why do I always miss all the fun stuff?

I like your work a lot and I always enjoy progress pictures. On this one though there is something odd about how the handle meets the pommel. Perhaps a bit more taper in the handle or a larger pommel would go a long way.

Thanks for sharing and please feel free to share these in the weapons section. Share stuff here that is for sale :)

It has been awhile since I shared anything so I fugred this little dandy was right up your ally.

This is an upgraded boarding dagger. It is based off of our new production 18" boarding dagger blade.

hand forged guard with hand ground shell, antiqued ash handle,

faceted acorn pommel and a brass pommel nut.

Yea, it's backwards.

Silly story...I used to be so upset that the Capt Morgans logo had the same issue that I used to write in and complain all the time...years later I met Don Maintz and found out he was the designer of the logo. I consider him a friend these days and I have still yet to tell him.

I might have to write me a blog...

Dont trust Diosa!!! Inside trader she is!

Thanks mates! Tippin one to all of you tonight!

I have video

Just thought I would bump this to let you all know that there is a new axe page with many more patterns. Like stated before, this is just a small small sample of the patterns we make.

Now for sale. Details here : https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=18422

My personal sword that I made myself for Key West is now for sale. It has a brown leather scabbard that is made to fit in a baldric and I would be happy to make a drag(metal tip) for it if the buyer wished.

I am asking $600 for the sword and $675 with the scabbard. $715 with metal tip on the scabbard. This is a huge savings. The sword alone would retial at $675 and the scabbard, as is, would be $112.00. The tip regularly adds $60 to the scabbard price. The sword is the first of this design and features many custom options.

I also would throw in a free engraving on the blade. A name or logo/crew flag.

Here is a link to the thread with all the details. https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=18395

It is set up as a blunt now but I would through in a sharpening if the buyer wishes.

Thanks for looking!

This needs no words. My favorite part is at the 4:28 mark and the 10:36 mark.

I knew you would never make it to the beach. You mentioned it too much.

Happy birthday mate. Glad you came out this year. Your a good man and great pirate!

Three you say?

I am uploading a ton to my facebook, but I will post some of my favorites as I go. Mind you, these are just the ones I took off of my small camera. The ones I took off of the large camera belong to Pirates Magazine untill they choose which to print, then I can share those too.

Also heard this a few times... "Hey Matt, you must know...who are those two hot twins"? To which I replied, "Pirate huntress' mate".

These two?! (Picture stolen from the Pirate Surgeon's Journal FB page)

Touché, but they dont look much like Pirate Huntress'...I did see one in a dress and one in a red coat though.

One of the most repeated things in my little group was "to the hilt". Then again I was with Klaus and Pearl most of the time...

Ahoy all, I am posting a 5-part blog on this years events at PIP and FTPI.

Here is part 1

Normally I would be scared, but this year I think I played it safe around you! I think...

I didn't see any mention of you and your hot legs that you were showing off in that new mini skirt you bought just to eat with me at Duffy's.

See if you can find Lob the monkey in the crew photo.

Of course I see him! He is in your hands standing right next to me!

Thank you, thank you!!! I have returned home with thise piece and it is now for sale with or without a brown leather scabbard.
