It has been a long year and I am way way behind on updating our website and the public on some of our recent works.

This Katzbalger is a good representation of a new signature series of swords called "Charmed City Upgrades". This line of swords are all upgraded from standard production blade blanks and pieces. The goal of the line is the give the customer a better idea of what upgrade options are offered by us. It also gives our customers the ability to create a truly unique sword without having to pay for a full blown custom.

As you can see the goal is not to do a full blown custom, but an upgraded piece with subtle yet unique details.

On this sword I added 2 fullers up the center of the blade with 2 more short fullers in the ricasso. I also did a stop edge grind instead of our standard faded edge. The guard is forged to shape and has nodes ground into the centers of each D. The handle is tiger stripe maple and is ground to match the fishtail pommel.

Thanks for looking and as always, comments are welcomed.

I should add that a sword like this one is only $100 more then the production stage combat version. Making this come in at $550.00.

Cheers,
