neil gagnon Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 here are some pics of a sword i recently finished. it's a sister sword to one i had forged out around christmas. It is made from c1045 and quenched with gunters super quench. I went with the whole green theme on this sword from the cotton wrap to the saya with the ray skin. The fittings on the sword are a bamboo theme, with a 14inch full tang handle that is triple pinned with brass pins. The saya is made of poplar with ray skin sanded down and brass fittings. I chose a hunter green metalic automotive paint with a thick clear cloat. I am currently waiting on the sageo in the mail it is black. I have two more blades to finish that are from this steel i forged back before christmas, one is a fantasy blade and a knife after they are done i have about 200 feet of cable i plan to play with. The wrap on the handle of the sword is a dark green, even though it looks black in pics. hope you like. I only hope to get better with time and practice. this sword is only japanese inspired. http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1244.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1242.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1256.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1250.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1247.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1240.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1239.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1238.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...n/IMG_1235.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...IMG_1234-1.jpg "One who is samurai must before all things" Keep constantly in mind, by day and by night. the fact that he has to die... -Dai Doji Yuzon- 16th Century http://sites.google.com/site/canadianliveblade/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabeswordsmith Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Do you make every aspect of the sword ( from the blade, tsuba, fittings, tsuka, and saya)? This is very nice work. Where do you find the time, I would love to make something this nice. Scott Hale - www.halestormforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
