kevin hopkins Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) 21 1/2 inch spring steel blade with mild fittings and charred oak handle topped by a 20 side die as a pommel nut. I thought i'd just have a little fun this time, the next will be a little more historical. let me know what you think Edited April 4, 2017 by kevin hopkins 3 The smith also sitteth by the anvil, And fighteth with the heat of the furnace, And noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, And his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh, He setteth his mind to finish his work, And waitethto polish it perfectly. -Ecclesiasticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris C-S Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Nice, it may not be a looker but i am sure it would have been functional in the required times, when one must own such a sword. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua States Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I love this thing and I have to know.......how did you make the 20-sided die? “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.
