Jeff Pringle 8 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Nice one! It looks like it means buisness, very smooth form. How much manipulation did you do to influence the pattern, or is that the forged-in texture? Jomsvikingar Raða Ja! http://vikingswordsmith.com Link to post Share on other sites

Ulrich Hennicke 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Nice one! It looks like it means buisness, very smooth form. How much manipulation did you do to influence the pattern, or is that the forged-in texture? I forged the blade near to shape and than I grind 14 grooves at each side of the saberblade. @ all: you are very kind to me, thanks Uli.

Richard van Dijk 268 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hi Uli That turned out really sweet and I bet you must have blisters on your fingers from all the polishing. I like how you did the fittings and used the silver. I am sure you to will be glad that it is finished, what is happening to the dagger? A pic of the pieces both finished would be great.

Sam Salvati 80 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Woah, for second there I thought I was looking at a museum peice;). Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan Bondurant 23 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Fantastic work! They will both be remembered by me for a very long time along with the dozen or so knives that I will never forget. The Jambiya is one of my favorite designs, I absolutely love the ridge which was created to pierce chainmail and other armor. Did the new owner mention his intentions with them? Ive heard of a few high dollar pieces being made for wedding gifts, to wear during weddings, and just to wear during formal gatherings in the Middle East. Link to post Share on other sites
