Bjorn Gylfason Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I guess that by now my love for nagel equipped blades comes as no surprise Forged from a harrow spring and is 5mm thick at the front of the bolsters and tapers in all directions from there, no plunge lines and the tang is deeply fullered under the scales. Having no truly parallel surfaces really does make assembly fiddly but it helps capture the look and feel of the originals and is surprisingly light for it's size. Scales are second grade ebony that I actually prefer over first grade ones as they have a lot more interesting colours. I got various chunks of brass from my neighbor who used to be a toolsmith and it has been very pleasant to file it to form 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 really nice, and I like the texture in the steel, the handle, and the shaping of the brass. 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. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.
