Archive of ascii art ?

Hello,
First, I am not asking anyone to make me some name embedded ascii art.
I am asking if there are archives of ascii art. I am looking for small items
related to my knife making.
I would like to add a few small items in the tag of my emails, if this use
is not objectionable to the party's concerned.
I have tried to produce nice looking ascii knives, swords ect... but, I
really don't think I have the eye (or patience) to create something that
looks as good as some of the things I've just seen here.

Thank you in advance for any assistance in this.

Knifemakers are a sharper class of people.

Show us some web pages. It's often easier to visualise things by simply
showing pictures than by trying to explain with words...

Something like this?

http://www.algonet.se/~kjellj/knivar.htm
http://w1.410.telia.com/~u41002677/knivar.htm
http://user.tninet.se/~mzm351r/kniv1b.jpg
http://w1.422.telia.com/~u42210149/knivar.htm
http://www.spiderknives.nu/main.htm
http://www.dalnet.se/~hquist/knivar/knivar.html

Maybe some pictures of the process of making knives rather than just the
result?

Or if you have a homepage...?

Ah, so you want sig sized stuff?

Be careful what you ask for, you might get it - Klingon style!  :-D

There are plenty of very brutal fantasy knives and swords about. Somehow
I suspect that is not what you're looking for.

Several... Chris Johnson, Erik Veland,
and Andreas Freise probably have the
largest collections of ASCII art at their sites.... 

http://www.chris.com/ascii/index.html
http://www.wigwam.org/Ascii/
http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/
