This one has been getting worked on slowly for the last several years and it finally started coming together over the last month or so. The Blade is Cable, handle is Elk the guard is deer and the pommel is snakeskin agate.  I know its not the normal style of blade most of us see and it is primitive.

 

Blade Length  10"

Width               1 3/8"

OAL                  17 1/8"

what did you use to texture it?

Pretty freaken awsome!! The blade looks like napped flint.  Love the organic look of the blade to gard to handle flow.

I love the look of it. I was experimenting a bit with the napped look a little while ago and yours turned out great. also Love how you did the antler for the guard.

That looks like something out of a good version of Conan the Barbarian

@littleblacksmith   It is a grinding technique that gives the texture.
