Ed Cope was mentored by Tom Mayo, and he won Best New Maker at Blade Show 2018. This one is a one-off model he calls the "Madslasher". It handles like a Vandermeulen Homicide mixed with a Koenig Arius. It's impressively designed and fit and finish is perfect. It has a lot of new and unique finishes from Ed.
Tri-tone blade done with a heavy blackwash and 2 contrasting satin finishes
Fully contoured ti frame with his copper patina finish
Blasted milling on both sides of the frame and a blasted interior
