 Posted: Thu 12 Jul, 2018 7:50 pm Post subject: Coming Soon To A Scabbard Near Me - Swordmaker Sword |
 |
|
Since I'm impatient, this is the start of my 'I got a sword from Maciej AKA Swordmaker' thread. Currently it is getting its scabbard, belt etc in Poland with Maciej but the sword itself is done, and I want to share it. First off, Maciej has been great. Communicative, responsive, all that. He and I both had a number of ideas about how to turn this original into a reconstructed sword, and I've really appreciated having someone so skilled and knowledgeable working on this.
You can see the original here:http://www.clevelandart.org/art/1919.69
And here is Swordmaker's interpretation:
I'm really happy with how it's looking and will keep you all apprised as this continues!

Congratulations! You'll treasure it. That's a great hollow-grind and a nice, seldom seen cross guard. Cant wait to see what Maciej does with the scabbard.

That looks beautiful! I like the simple elegance of it and it looks well balanced and handy in a cut an thrust sort of way.
Nothing in fencing is really difficult, it just takes work.

Really lovely! I've never seen a replica of that sword before.
I just placed an order for Albion Sempach, but I think I have a long wait ahead of me.

To my knowledge, no one has every reproduced this sword! It's one thing that made it so appealing, was having something truly unique.
