Entirely hand forged from virgin 5160 steel and deferentially tempered. It has a tough spine and harder edges. My blades have very thick wide tangs that have been drawn out and forged from the mother blade steel. The full cross sections and profiles of my swords are accomplished at the anvil by forging. Any stock removal is extremely minimal and only serves for finishing and sharpening.
Owning one of my blades means you will take great pride in knowing that it is the only one in the world. I may forge others in similar style and dimension but no two will ever be the same. Hand forging is an extremely difficult and labor intensive art form that produces stunningly beautiful, unique and superior edged weapons. In today’s world of mass CNC machining and cheap investment casting, high quality hand made original works are becoming extremely difficult to find. I forge every edged weapon as if it were my very own to carry into battle. It gives me great satisfaction to think that long after I am gone, my blades will proudly be displayed in silent testimony to my passion for this art form. Please study my feedback and be extremely confident that this item will meet or even exceed your expectations. SEE WHAT THIS SWORD LOOKS LIKE IN HAND BY SEARCHING SAXONFORGE ON YOU TUBE.

This is Sinclair's Bay in Caithness on the East coast of Scotland, about 10 miles south of John O’ Groats and 7 miles north of Wick. The Sinclairs are a Highland Scottish clan who held lands in the north of Scotland, the Orkney Islands, and the Lothians. The chiefs of the clan were the Barons of Roslin and later the Earls of Orkney. No certain record exists but it is likely that the Sinclairs originally came from Saint-Clair in Normandy.
Caithness is an area of about 712 square miles. As you can see the land is flat, in contrast to most of the remainder of the North of Scotland. Until the latter part of the 20th century when large areas were planted in conifers, this level profile was rendered still more striking by the almost total absence of forest. Basically, it’s a land of open, rolling farmland, moorland and scattered settlements.
Although not obvious in my photo, those castle ruins on the left are perched on a sheer cliff. That’s the old Keiss Castle. I say the old one because that ‘new’ building further inland glories in the name Keiss 'castle' too, although it is really a large and elegant Scottish Baronial house built in the late 1700s.
There was a small fortification here during the late medieval period, but in the last years of the 16th century the 5th Earl of Caithness built that castle that is now in ruins, being four storeys high, plus an attic level and a vaulted basement. There do not appear to be any defensive structures on the landward side, suggesting that Keiss was built purely with an eye to a seaborn attack. I guess that’s not surprising since this part of the coastline was a favourite landing place of raiders and pirates from Norway and Denmark. Local people lit a beacon on one of the few hills when raiders were spotted. However, the lack of land defences may have been a mistake. In 1623 when George Sinclair defied King James VI (I of England) over something, and the King not being amused, dispatched Sir Robert Gordon to sort him out. The rebellious Earl provisioned his castles for a siege [he owned two others by the sea], perhaps then realised that the King’s army were advancing by land, so he caught the next available ferry to Orkney. [OK, I made that bit up, but he did go by sea to Orkney somehow]. All three castles surrendered without a fight to Sir Robert but were eventually returned to the Earl's son, presumably on condition he behaved himself.
World War II saw Keiss resume a military function as, despite its remote location, the defence of Caithness became a defence priority. The coastline's proximity to the Orkney Isles - where the large anchorage at Scapa Flow was the wartime home to the larger warships of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet - made the coastline strategically important. Furthermore, with the German occupation of Norway in April 1940, Caithness suddenly seemed particularly vulnerable. The long flat beach was the recipient of a large minefield - allegedly the UK's longest in 1940 - augmented with anti-tank obstacles plus machine-gun pillboxes spaced at 400 yard intervals. Substantial land forces were based in the area with the grounds of Keiss Castle being converted into a military camp. My old boss complained to me that he spent most of his National Service after WW2 digging holes in this area…..
The Sinclair Research C5 is a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched by Sinclair Vehicles Ltd in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985. The vehicle is a battery-assisted tricycle steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees. Powered operation is possible making it unnecessary for the driver to pedal. Its top speed of 15 miles per hour, is the fastest allowed in the UK without a driving licence. It is powered by a 200W or 250W motor. It sold for £399 plus £29 for delivery.
It became an object of media and popular ridicule during the 1980s in Britain and was a commercial disaster, selling only around 17,000 units. Sinclair claimed it remained "the best selling electric vehicle" as recently as 2010, although it was overtaken in 2011 when the Nissan Leaf had sold over 20,000 units.

Who is your Female Conservation Hero or Mentor?
Jane Goodall is my conservation hero because her work demonstrates the importance of determination, patience, detailed observation, and compassion. Despite the barriers restricting women in science and spending months in the field barely obtaining glimpses of wary chimpanzees before they grew to trust her, Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking insights of chimpanzee behavior changed the global perspective on animal intelligence. Today she travels the world; sharing her experiences and knowledge about chimpanzees and the threats they face to inspire her audience to make our shared planet a better place. The stories of Jane Goodall discovering new facts about chimpanzees in the middle of a dense forest and the impact she has made on the world inspired me to become a wildlife biologist.
Where did you go to school and what did you study?
I went to UC-Davis and obtained a B.S. in wildlife, fish, and conservation biology.
What’s your favorite thing about working for the Service?
I love working for the Service because I am constantly learning about diverse topics such as the native plants the Chumash used as medicine to the reasons the light-footed clapper rail is listed as Endangered through the Endangered Species Act.
If you could have one incredible animal adaptation, what would it be?
If I could have one incredible animal adaptation, I would want to have the complex nasal cavities that polar bears use to smell food up to 20 miles away. That way I could smell all of the restaurants within a 20 mile radius and go to the one that smells the best!
