JPH Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hello: Just finished this up today from a blade I hammered out a week or so ago. It's a 27 7/8" long three core twist/counter twist offset pattern "Dark Age" style sword in 1070, L-6 and 1095 steel with some SS HT foil just because.. Full length fuller on both sides, one piece Bovine Ivory grip with SS studs and phosphor bronze mounts. This is one of my "generic" swords for stock on my website. Didn't turn out all that bad for a couple of afternoon's worth of puttering about and goofing off a bit. JPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoRockNazz Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wow... that's a beaut, I'd love to cut some tatami with that. Your wording is always funny, almost like you're too humble; I feel like you should brag a little tiny bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If my puttering turned out pieces like that I'd quit my current job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpankySmith Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I've never puttered ANYTHING that well. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 No comment on your "humility" Jim, we see examples all the time. What I'd LOVE to see is something you claim to have been a challenge. How about a non-putter project? Hmmmm? Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crantius Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Looks like a spatha. A sword popular with the Romans and later the Vikings (i.e. early dark ages as you said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
