I commissioned Pavel Moc for a new kriegsmesser that took 2 months to be hand-forged for my specifications. A very big and imposing War-Knife.

The name of the sword is "Säbelzahn"
German translation: 'Sabre-tooth'.

Notice the dark walnut grip-slabs has 6 rivets on[img] the tang, thus lengthened my hilt giving me more room for my XL hands. The hilt and quillons are hand-forged the same metal as the blade that unified the sword into a harmonic tone.

"The sword symbolizes power, protection, authority, strength, and courage; metaphysically, it represents discrimination and the penetrating power of the intellect. The sword is phallic, with the sheath being yonic. It is a symbol of knighthood and chivalry. The flaming sword of the Christian ethos separates man from Eden. Many swords have magical properties and are given to heroes for the advancement of justice; Excalibur was given to Arthur by the lady of the lake, The Greek gods gave Perseus a sword that could cleave stone to defeat Medusa." (University of Michigan) ... But the Säbelzahn is a Tiger!”

This is a glimpse of sword and within a month or so, after my valuation, I'll send a full review, history and detailed pictures.

Warm Regards,
Charles

It was only a two month turnaround time?? I'm impressed.

Real nice "knife!"

It was a very fast turnaround time but I was happy :) So, when you extract a grand out of your wallet now!--you better eat steel for the month for groceries! And I don't roll with credit cards--lettuce only :lol:
