Default Michael Ruth Jr. Best Sword & Best of Show Blade 2012



Congratulations to Mike Ruth Jr. for a stellar performance at Blade. I apologize for the poor cell phone pics. Hopefully we will have a better ones to add in the coming days. In any event a piece well worth all accolades and awards.

I was lucky enough to be able to handle Michael's sword, it was really something.

It had great balance as well as execution and beauty.

Awhile back Michael really upped his game and winning Best Sword and Best of Show is a great reward for his efforts.

I can't wait to see his new work.

I'm sure that Mike Sr. and Noria are very proud of him.

Great job, Mike Jr.
