HarrisonIrwin 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I've decided to sell my broadsword. Originally I was making it for myself but I have my eye on a new rifle so I'm putting it up for sale. The sword is 1/4" thick of 5160 has is 30" in blade length ( Not including the tang) it is 2" at the widest and looks gorgeous. Sam Salvati, of Baltimore Knife & sword and the youtube series "Man at arms" ground the bevels with a 12" contact wheel. It is at a 320 grit. I'm asking $215 shipped for the sword blank but I am open to offers so let me know. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff Keyes 700 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) So is this forged or "just" ("just", ) a grinder project? Heat treated? It's not that I am in dire need of a project......

HarrisonIrwin 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hey Geoff! Haha its "Just" a grinder project , never been in the forge. No heat treatment just yet, I'm hoping someone wants it and they can heat treat it, my shop is well suited for knives, it just doesn't have the capabilities for a project this long so I'd have to get it professionally heat treated . Let me know if you want it, I'll actually be in Duvall this Saturday Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Okinaka 11 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Do you know of a heat treater, or how much it would cost to get it heat treated? I'm interested, if I can work out the HT details. Maybe Sam/Baltimore knife can help out. Link to post Share on other sites
