basher Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was approached to make a sword for a program on one of the talhoffer fight manuals . The sword in question had very pointy pommel and guard . it is depicted in the manual being used holding the blade and using the guard and pommel to attack an opponent .the production company wanted the sword to emphisise this possable use ..... I was filmed forging the sword and doing some cutting . the program will be called fight book ......... here is the sword I made . thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
