Someone wanted to see this sword, so here it is.... the Magical sword, Jerry!!!

"Jerry" is a migration-era "ring hilt" sword. Hilt is made of buffalo horn and antiqued bronze. Blade is pattern-welded from a six-bar composite of 1095 and 8203 steels. Winner, best damascus blade, Blade Show West 2005.

Happy New Year!

:surprised: Wow that looks great David! Thank you very much for posting pictures of this work of art. Even though this is earlier then my main time frame one day I would love to own a sword from this era. I do not suppose you could post the stats for it could you?

Great sword! I love the migration stuff and that is one of the best I have seen.

This is a great looking sword!!! I would have liked to see some good pics of the blade since I and a few others have been discussing pattern welded blades. I can see why this blade took first place in 2005 show. Thanks for posting David, now lets have some more pictures.

I hate to discuss prices but I bet this sword is in the $3,000 to $4,000 range? More? :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:

A few short stats:
Overall length: 33.5 in
Blade length: 28 in
CoG: 8.5 in
Weight: 2.5 lbs

$3,000 to $4,000 range? Yes.

Here's a mediocre close-up of the tip...
