Is that last one the "ouch twist?

I remember seeing a sword guard that was twisted and barbed to look like thorns.

Yeah you wouldn't want to use that as a handle. I like it because it kinda looks like scales. It would be really cool to have lika a dragon head at the end of it.

Here's some more twists I've done. 

Hello there! I'm a Swedish apprentice blacksmith. I'm currently making a project about blacksmithing twists. I'm trying to gather knowledge about twists but i find it difficult to find history of it. So it would be appreciated if i could get some help. (not sure if I'm in the right thread). 

Here is some of the Twists I've done.
