Default Weird and wonderful sword mix
Just finished this while I was waiting for stuff to cool. THis is a cross between a Yataghan and a Said..welded cable with Ni accents, recurved single edge blade with fuller and a "T" back 29" in length. Bronze mounts and Coco-Bolo grip....Overall length is 35".

Thought I would share...

I like it it looks great. Can we get closer pics of the blade and see what it looks like in hand for a size refrence? It looks realy big for a 1-hander. Nice design though.

Steve:

It just turned out that way..I was goofing off trying stuff with my flypress and it just "happened"...That and I was really tired of doing the same thing over and over again..so I got a little crazy.

I mixed a few designs up and this is what came out. I will say the more I play around with Augustus the more I like it...Julius is great but too much power and no "feel" at all while Augustus is all "feel and control"....you can actually feel the steel move under the dies. Easy, quick and man..the results are wonderful...

Looks Persian - I can see it cutting the reins of crusaders' horses (and tendons).

HW:

I would sooner cut the crusader given the fact I am 1/2 Kurd...

Ahh during most of the crusader era middle eastern swords were straight...

Thos:

Yeah....I know..but the urge is genetic..Say "crusader" to a Kurd and well....but what the heck....I still think it turned out pretty good...

Good looking sword. How thick is the blade and did you say it is a t back? I have a falchion that I am working on that is simular, not as long of a clip point. Can't decide how to handle it as of yet.
