New Short Sword Fresh Off The Bench

[David Stifle]

Hi Guys,

This blade is a 16.75" forged 1075 blade with a 3.16th's spine and 9.5" wrapped handle over a walnut core. It's a bit of a fusion with a hapoon tipped blade and Japan-esy furniture (brass and copper). It's razor sharp, well balanced (4" in front of the guard), and it's a heck of a chopper. Thanks for looking, and all comments welcomed.

Looks very deadly!
Kinda of a fantasy sword that's really functional! Nice work!

Thanks Laurence, appreciate the comments! I've had a lot of fun doing various cutting tasks, hanging rope, 2x4's, small trees, etc.

Just don't hurt anybody. Blood will make that wonderful knife rust!

Ha! It tasted my blood during the sharpening phase. Thanks, Don.

Really nice David; good to see your busy in the shop. I love long and lean blades and this one is really nice. Great blend of line and the materials contrast is just enough to set it off. Fred
