|
|
Hi all,
I'm new, my name is Josh and I live in Texas.
I built this simple "Macahulti" like sword. It cuts through almost anything and consists of a straight steel blade.
It's very simple and is the first weapon I've ever made.

Hmmm... I want a close-up.
What kind of steel? How's the hilt put on? Details, details....

This is a smaller reproduction of an image I saw online. Though in the image, the handle was in the middle, this one is not. - More like earlier versions the "blades" are simply sharpened wood. (A "blunt-force" hit). Probably causing massing head injury.

The blade on that sort of weapon are normally obsidian shards.

Yeah, obsidian shards all the way up each side. And very sharp... Horse-decapitating kind of sharp.
