Hey guys, check out these pieces that recently went out the shop. We have a Euro-Katana hybrid sword, a basket hilt with blade by me and basket by Armor Class, and a gladius and scabbard that's all Odinblades 
Thanks for checking 'em out!

Those look amazing. Just when I always think I know what you can do, you surprise me. the etching on the basket hilt is wonderful.

Sorry, the basket is made by Armor Class. I did the blade and assembly on that basket hilt.

The blade you but on my basket is awesome! It fits the piece som much better than the original blade that I can't even believe it's the same piece! Thanks so much!

Lovely work John, I especially like the details on the Euro Katana hilt, these are the sort of details that can separate the extraordinary from the merely good.
Still hammering away

The swords are fantastic of course. But I wanted to chime in and say that I really like what you're doing with your scabbards too. They look fantastic.

Those roman swords always make my belly tingle just a singly stab with those would make such a mess, that's so not funny 
Anyway, it looks great.

kaor! The Euro-katana looks great! Keith Bulmer who wrote the Kregen ( Dray Prescot ) books said that the Krozair longsword was a katana style weapon, this fits the description!
'...you know best the promptings of yor own heart. that i shall need your sword i have little doubt, but accept from john carter upon his sacred honor the assurance that he will never call upon you to draw this sword other than in the cause of truth, justice and righteousness.'

Hey Jordan my bratha! Hope you got a chance to see the new hilt prototypes for the "Longship Line" over in SFI and SBG. Tried to get them put in here but hopefully someone will bring em over for me. Got two longsword hilts and a S guard saber and a fishtail with downcurved guard and a etched bronze Jian hilt. They are at the casters, gonna make ten of each for now. This way I can keep some stock on hand for folks who preffer not to wait on long custom order timelines. Just a alittle new information for now thanks.
