Hello family,
I'm having a custom sword made by Kc Lund. It's a double fuller blade.
And he asked what pommel I wanted. And I'm not sure. Something grand and good
Looking. It's partially fantasy so I don't mind if there's no historical reference.
I'm just looking for good dynamics and good looking but I need your help!!
I have a liking to scent stopper pommels! But any unique ones that pop up Up
I would love you guys to share!
Cheers

What's the length of the blade including the tang? What kind of guard are you going with? This is a mighty broad question you ask. For instance, a scent stopper pommel on a Viking-style blade would just look...weird. If you are going full-on custom, then I'd say the sky's the limit...or the limit of the makers ability.  ....McM

FWIW, I've always been fond of spherical pommels like this - and as it happens, historically you often find them on large Austrian, German or Swiss longswords that also sport multiple fullers.

I have now idea where this pommel comes from, but I think it is very cool.
