Alan Longmire 2,633 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Sorry, I meant I knew of the books and TV series, I have just never seen them to get an idea of what the sword should look like. It's still nice clean work! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Lester 269 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That's a very nice clean looking job. I wish that we had a source of EN45 equivalent here in the states but the only source of 9260 we had stopped carrying in a few years back. Doug 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Schmalhofer 80 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Jacek, beautiful sword! Nice clean lines. One question. Is there a reason you made the twists in the guard the same way and not counter to each other? Not a critique, just curious. 2 hours ago, Doug Lester said: I wish that we had a source of EN45 equivalent here in the states but the only source of 9260 we had stopped carrying in a few years back. Doug, check out 8670 for swords and big blades. Just saw a video on AKS website in their 8670 entry of a chef knife they beat through a metal pipe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua States 1,657 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That is simple elegance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Lester 269 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks, Bill, I'll look into that. Another think that I considered is some of the 1/4" 15N20 stock that Aldo carries after I use up my last bar of 9260 when I get my forge set back up. Doug Link to post Share on other sites
