 48" Longsword in progress
Hey everyone,
Thought I would drop in and post some pictures of the progress made on my latest piece.
Its a 48" longsword/hand-and-a half sword, 36" blade. 5160 spring steel. About 1 3/4" wide near the tang (might thin it up some however).
Here are some pictures of it rough forged, and some part-way through the rough grinding. I would say I am about 50%-65% done with the rough grinding (depending on if I adjust the profile or not). I still have to thin up the edges a bit and get the fuller running completly straight and uniform and grind out a few gouges and mis-shapen areas here and there. But its comming along nicely.
Anyway, let me know what you all think.
Graham
