I´d be glad for your comments.

Looks absolutely fantastic. Of course the basket is great, but I also like the double fuller.

Is the pommel hollow?

Hi there,
thanks for your comments.

Yes, pommel is hollow (made of 2 parts). Length: 102 cm, PoB: 9 cm, blade: single-edged (with false-edge), weight: 1,6 kg.
I tried to reduce the weight as much as possible.

Gorgeous work; thanks for posting. This and your continental basket hilt are on my wish list of modern pieces to consider after I trim down my antique collection.
