It's not that I would trade my lot
For any other man's,
Nor that I will be ashamed
Of my work torn hands-
For I have chosen the path I tread
Knowing it would be steep,
And I will take the joys thereof
And the consequences reap.

That is one handsome blade, Very nice indeed.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!
The time of heroes is dead: the christ god has killed it, leaving nothing but weeping martyrs and fear and shame.
If we die... it will be for GLORY, not gold.

WOW! I love it! It is really, really nice. Great work Ben! I like the beautifully carved grip the best, but the sheath is gorgeous as well. In my opinion this is a great overall piece! Is the grip riveted to the tang?

Thanks for all the kind words.
Yes, The tang comes roughly 2/3 of the way up (in from the blade) the grip and has 2 copper rivets.
