Hi There are a few pictures of a new Odin zweihander over at SFI. I regret I cannot post them here myself, but if you guys were to check it and maybe post em here I would appreciate your comments. I took the idea for this one from some pictures provided by a few members of myArmoury and they are greatly appreciated. :)

Here are the images. Beautiful work John I love the way the blade just seems to flow.

That's an interesting take on that style of weapon John. I like the work on the ricasso especially.

i wish i'd gotten a chance to handel the finished piece, so sweet.
rock on man

Very graceful beast, if you ask me. I like the fleur-de-lys details on the guard coupled with the green grip...

whats the website for this?
Thanks
Christopher

Wow! Very impressive work, John. I like the ricasso and the shape of & cutouts in the cross.

Thanks for getting these pix posted for me as I forgot.

just to let you know, the sword is based off a historical design odin-ised with some detail on the recasso.
the disk shape on the blade comes from the original.

I really like the hilt.The best zweihander I've ever seen.

What an wonderfully done sowrd of this type. IS the handle wood or leather covered? Any stats on this beastie?

John,

I really enjoy weapons that are made with a bit of artistic flair without compromising function. Your work is some of the best I've seen in this regard. This sword has many historical elements yet enough creative license to make it uniquely yours. Very nice.

It's awesome to see a Zweihander that's decorative without being impractical and long without being heavy or unbalanced--I'd love to see how it handled.
How long does the fuller run along the blade, since it's in shadow in the image?

i had the pictures i took sent to me. it will give you an idea what went into the cross guard.
sorry they only go so far but school called me back before completion

Sean,

Very cool "in progress" pics! Having absolutely no fabricating skills, I find it fascinating to see the process by which people create things.
