Default Sword 1.7m long

Ok...finaly i have the chance to make a real sword ! An Italian importan customer asked me to manufacture a large sword of about 1.7meters long 65 melimeter wide. The problem is as some of you may know i have never made a sharp pointey object that looks like a sword or knife I wante it to be beuitful not necesarly usefull as i know the sword will stay just at display so it won't be in use. This is why i think i will make it of mild steel (second reason is caz most of the material i can buy in stock is mild steel). Any tips about making it are apreciated ... i think about starting from a square 25x25 wide but this is a real chalange for me. Any help about how i should make it and look good is apreciated.Remember i have no experience about making swords
