May 28, 201214 yr Hi Everyone, this was made to be a full size Migration Period blade but things happened... reforged the tip and now I have a shorter sword lol here's some pic's of the bare blade, and one befor the etch when I was working on fitting the hilt parts up on a sunny day I peened the hilt/handle together tonight just waiting for the epoxy to dry then on to a leather... (edit) thought I'd put some stats incase anyone wants to know Blades 23 1/4 Overall 27 1/4 (no lower pommel yet) width at gaurd 1 7/8 weight 710 grams (bare blade)
June 1, 201214 yr Author thanks for the comments guys! Blades all done except for the little touch ups... I have a bad habbit of not making scabbards for my blades so I'm gonna actually try to follow through on this one Hope you guys like, I'm pretty happy with it all and all but wish it was the 30 inch blade it was meant to be
June 6, 201213 yr Very nice stout looking blade! Hopefully one day ill be able to match the craftsmanship, well done. -Tim M.
June 13, 201213 yr Author well got it all finished up, sheath is made outta 2 layers of leather bound and glued together. Inner layer had the hair still on which help protect the blade and makes a tight fit but still easy to draw. Rabbit fur on the out side just to give it that character... Learnt alot from this one but now it's time to get back to the forge!
June 13, 201213 yr Very nice blade, good contrast and uniform pattern. Very beautiful. What steels did you use? Frosty The Lucky.
June 15, 201213 yr Amazing work, man. That's going to make someone very happy, or an even better addition to your own collection!
