Here a few shots from a blade i had made for a long term project from Viktor Berbekrucz.
The material i had asked him to use was a pattern weld steel i bought from a smith called M. Balbach who is known in Germany for the quality of his products. The material cut outs from a knife series he had made and i was able to get them quite cheap. I bought his last 6 kg from the series and send it to Viktor.
He just send me back these images with a few specs :
Weight: 1,5kg
Measurement of the tang:
Width: 1cm bis 2,5cm
Length: 35cm
Thickness: 5-7 mm
Measurement of the Blade:
(overall) Length: 135cm
Width (Ricasso): 3,9 cm
Width (blade): 4,7cm bis 1,1cm(2cm vor der Spitze)
The edge is at 1 mm at the moment as i will have it sharpened locally here in my area. So the blade is going to loose a little bit of weight.
Once i have it back from the sharpening i will post a few more shots before sending it out to be hilted. There is a certain company in MN wich agreed to take on the project.....
Best regards to everyone and happy Christmas !
Klaus
