Hello all I wanted to share my project of the last week...it was a ton of work but I'm calling it done. I did this single edged viking sword all with hand hammers and it measures just shy of 32 inches over all length. The guard and pommel are antiqued brass and stainless steel pressure fitted with copper pins. The sheath is carved walnut with antiqued copper fittings and brass rings with gold leaf. The handle is Indian rose wood and the blade is made of 1080 and 15N20 with a W2 edge. It took me 7 hours of constant forging to hammer this brute out but it was well worth it. I was inspried by Scott Roush's "Heirloom" and the idea of making something that looked like you had found it in some store room of a museum forgotten and well used. It was fun to make and I'm already planning my next one. Thanks for looking!
