The custom etched blade is a H/T Bastard Blunt, the hilt furniture is steel, and the grips is spiral carved wire wrapped wood with a steel spacer. Pommel is threaded 3/8-16. Guard is one of Mike Jia's. Very light in the hand, and I hope it serves for many many years.
Etching both sides of a blade fuller like this was new territory for me and took two tries, but the end result was very satisfying. The text itself, "Grow Old Along With Me/The Best Is Yet To Be" was selected by the customer.
Enjoy!

I just finished 3 more swords of similar design, but with simpler grips. They are available for sale on my website: www.jessebelsky.com/stageswords
