Stormcrow Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I finished up the bush swords I showed forged out in my last post. bushswords01 by James Helm, on Flickr All are 80CrV2 steel, between 14" and 16" blades. This longest one had a hemp cord wrap with black paracord Turk's head knots, and a raised false edge. eosword01 by James Helm, on Flickr eosword02 by James Helm, on Flickr This one with tan and black paracord had a short, fully sharpened top edge per the customer's request. kusword01 by James Helm, on Flickr kusword02 by James Helm, on Flickr And finally, the shortest one. I liked the way the butt end of the handle had forged out, so I left it exposed instead of rounding it out and wrapping all the way around. cvsword01 by James Helm, on Flickr cvsword02 by James Helm, on Flickr After having it for a few days, the customer commented, "I can't believe how light and responsive this is for such a large blade. Awesome work my friend! I just can't get over how freakin' awesome this bush sword is. I am sore from swinging it so much. Destroying everything in its path so far. Thank you." Always glad to have happy customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You've still got it, James! I like these blade shapes very much! Inspired by your earlier works I wanted to try the raised false edge, too. Although I was thinking a parang style knife. We'll see if I get it done before springtime... Thanks for sharing, and all the bests to you!
