John C. Lewicki 1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Howdy fine folks, Well it has been an eternity since I have last posted. I have made many knives since my last post and will post them in due time, however for now I would just like to post this sword and leather that I have been working on. The leather was partially made from a hundred year old saddle, and it smelt great.... This He-Man sword replica is 35" overall with a hollow grind and is made from 5160 leaf spring steel. It has a wire wrapped handle over wax thread wrapped oak slabs. This was my first sword and I hope you enjoy. "I have the powerrrrrr!!!!" Edited March 16, 2016 by John C.

Brian Dougherty 1,167 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 That takes me back a ways. The sword and leathers both look really well executed. Thanks for not modeling the leathers for us! Link to post Share on other sites
