Man that looks like its gona high stick

Amazing bend in it.

The smiths seem to do that, bent right from the butt area. Chrisps AMJ does the same and recall seeing a video Kasey with an AMJ52EX on a big sambo looking like it was gonna snap at the grip.....but they don't. Sweet rods.

I recon if bakers got 10kg you'd have a pretty damn hard time stopping them. They go mighty hard for their size.
So what model smith was it?
