I have a question for all of you I am curious about what thickness is the blade at the base?
thank you for your answers

Miha

And I have forgot to ask how ( with what machine) maker of the sword make fuller into the blade?
Thank you

Miha

How thick the blade is at its base depends on the sword, and the thickness of the stock it is made from, and that will largely depend on what kind of sword is being made.

As for fullers I've had it suggested an angle grinder, and a steady hand can work well.

For fullers one might checj out this link

There is also a smithing stake [a tool used by a metal smith that fits into a hole in the anvil] that is called a fuller as well. I've seen pictures of this being used also. It all depends on your preference which tool you use.

Cheers,

thank you all for your answers!

Miha,
If you're intent is to copy Albion's Crecy, I'd invite you to do more research rather and develop your own design than trying to copy someone else's. Albion's items are well-researched, and the kind of R&D is costly and quite time-consuming. Their designs are also their own, based on that R&D. If you were asking for measurements of a historic sword, that would be a different thing. Historical records are quite different than proprietary designs.

I have calipers and could measure the minute details of the Albion swords I have or anything else in my collection and post them here for the world to see. I don't do so, because I respect the time and effort and experimentation that went into the final product. To give away for free, and in a few minutes, what took years of research and lots of design time to produce is wrong, IMHO.

What I can tell you is that many companies start with 1/4 inch stock for most types of swords. Some require thicker stock, like 3/8".

Sorry for that but I really like the sword but unfortunatly I can not afford it so I would like to make something close to this sword.
Thank you for your answers
