Jeff recently joined Ottawa Swordplay, so last night I actually saw this blade (and one other) in person.
It is going to be a lovely sword. I look forward to seeing it progress. Even at this stage, holding the blade by the tang, you can feel how well it is proportioned. |

My goodness, that looks wonderful. Gold, I think, would look too bright, but that copper gives it a clean, warm look. 10/10. |

Just think of it as sort of a bachelorette party. We kept it low-key, only a few strippers. ;-) |

This just keeps getting better! Now I'm picturing Jeff slowly unwrapping the naked blade of my sword in front of a bunch of sweaty, leering fencers, with 80s hair metal pumping in the background! But who am I to talk, I'm the one posting pictures on the internet. (This is all getting very confusing; I hope there aren't any psychoanalysts reading this). |

Great too to see one of the Saint-Omer sword to be made. |

Is he doing a scabbard also? |

No, no scabbard at this time. Seriously, please don't pester me about this one, I can't do it! With the extra $ for that inlay and another custom order coming together this summer (an order pending from last year), something has got to give. |
