Hey all, it's been awhile since I have been on this forum, but I thought I'd share a few pieces that I have put out lately. I posted these on the swordforum awhile back, but I'm sure there are people here who are not on that forum.
First is XVII blunt:

Blade length: 37.25"
Blade width: 2" at base
Hilt lenght: 9.5"
Thickness: .215" at base, .090" near tip
POB: 5" from guard
Blade node: approx 10" from tip (off memory)
Hilt node: 1 in below the guard (this one is for Tinker, thanks)
Guard and Pommel material: Stainless Steel
Grip: Leather over hickory
Total weight: 3 lbs 2 oz
Next is the XII
Blade Lenght: 29.5"
Blade width as base: 2.375"
Blade width near tip: 1"
Blade Material: 6150 thru hardened to RC 50
Blade thickness: .19" at base to .09" near tip
Grip: leather over hickory, with bronze end caps
Grip lenght: 5"
Guard: stainless steel
Pommel: 2.25" stainless wheel pommel with Bronze rampant lion emblem inset on each side.
Total weight: 2 lbs 10 oz
POB: 4"
Hilt node: .75" from guard
Primary node: right at the end of the fuller
Let me know what you think

Very nice pieces. I'd not mind adding either of them to my collection! I'd love to carry that XVII to SSG practice, its quite the looker.

Very pretty. I especially like the XII. What's the hilt construction on it: peened or dismountable?

Thanks guys, both are dismountable, though I use a large diameter 3/8" bolt through the pommel, and the guard does not slide over it.

I really like that one hander! Very nice. I like the polished look too. Make more so you can post more pictures so we drive ourselves crazy looking at them!
