Master Oso and  his brother Rocky (I think Rocky's a Lordship, but not sure) 
are a couple of top notch bladesmiths that Selene and I both know. If you 
want to see sheer beauty in steel, check out their website:

Rocky sold an absolutely beautiful reproduction of a 14th century Italian 
cooking knife to a friend of mine at Pennsic- their knives are, without any 
question in MY mind, absolutely the best at Pennsic. As an example of their 
work, Rocky got "Best Sword" at one of the most prestigious mundane knife 
shows in the world last spring.

OSO tells a story on himself, wherein he was busy teaching forge welding and 
managed to set himself on fire. One of his students finally managed to let 
him know (he was pretty involved) and without missing a beat, he said, "Well 
put it out" and went right on with his demo. Rocky hasn't set himself on 
fire, at least not that he admits to ;-) but he looks a bit like a fire 
hydrant, so maybe that's his secret ;-)

Any way, I figure she knows them well enough, that if they said they hadn't 
managed to set themselves on fire with the technique ;-) she might be willing 
to try it. It sure would save her a whole lot of hard work.
