Ben Potter Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Beautiful work, I love how the wood grain on the grip follows the lines of the blade.

GEzell Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Very nice modern take on a classic, looks like one heck of a chopper...

tonn Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Huh! That's a great work! I love the flow of this piece - turly a modern approach to ancient theme.

peter johnsson Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Uli, Nice work! I am currently looking into germanic iron age single edged swords. They are fascinating and share some kind of kindred spirit with your blade. These were straight in the blade, but otherwise had some elements in common with the Kopis or Falcata. Perhaps we will have opportunity to compare ideas in person in a few weeks? Great work, Uli. Keep them coming :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne C Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I really like that transitional "tooth" between the concave and convex lines of the cutting edge. VERY good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob beer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Uli, I have to say you never disappoint- that thing looks wickedly capable. You've now raised the bar for all future KLO's (kopis like objects). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Colwell Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 good to see something from you! nice interpretation. keep posting! please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.
