Great choice as usual my friend - that blade looks just perfect (what is the length?) and the hilt has a beautiful, organic look to it. It looks as though it would be very comfortable and handy to wield. The game's afoot!
Tim owns the 11th century - one reason why I'm pushed to 12th/13th. Plus we had more crusades!

Thanks, JD! I think the blade will be about 31 inches. Looks a bit shorter in the photo. The 12/13th is two centuries my friend. That's ganging up on me!
Robert started the inlay. Here's some pics...

Tim
Great looking sword, have you got some pics of the fully completed sword?
Do you have some stats to provide as well, overall length, blade length, blade width, crossguard width, grip length, weight etc?
Thanks
Danny

Looks like this one to me... Turned out real purdy.
Click here for Mr. Moc's page on it.

Danny-
The pics on Roberts page are this sword. I am not at home right now so I can't get any stats for you. I think it is 38 inches overall with a 32 blade length. The grip is comfortable for me to wield hammer style so I'd say about 3.75 inches. It isn't very heavy for it's size but still packs a bite. Probably about 2.5 pounds. I can send some more detailed stats if you like...
