The Sword of Ida Rose
The Sword of Ida Rose

This is a special sword....I made it for my niece, who was born in January. Its a little big for her at the moment but I trust she will grown into it. The blade is aluminum (and very, very dull!), the hilt is blued steel with a wire wrapped poplar grip. Her name is Ida Rose, so the pommel is etched with a Tudor rose with an I in the center. This should also prevent one of her parents from boosting it for themselves. Why does a baby need a sword you ask? Well, you are here on this forum so you probably know the answer to that already. Who wouldn't want to grow up with a sword made just for them mounted high on the wall ?

I'll let her parent decide what the appropriate age is for her to come into true ownership of this, but one day I hope she'll love it and learn to use it.

This sword obviously already has a home, so I just thought I would share.

Wow. It's nice to have uncles like yourself.

Well done.
That's a stunning sword. I really like that wire-wrap on the grip. Beautiful.
It is a beautifully made sword, I am sure she will cherish as she grows.
That is a very nice sword! I would have given anything to have something like that when I was a kid! She is very lucky...
Beautiful work. I'm especially fond of the grip wrap.

I would have killed for a sword like that when I was a kid :lol:
Thanks everyone for your kind words!
That's pure awesome.

Hm... I do have an infant nephew. Also, some aluminum lying around. Maybe I should work something up myself? :)
