Beautiful! Love the details on the pommel and grip!
I think I have a guess on the artist of it...... 
You officially have my envy Nathan!

Very nice and I have a guess on the artist too. Have to wait to tell if I'm right.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
Is it based on a particular original? If so, are there photos of it out there?
Between your new VE dirk and this, my jealousy of your collection has quadrupled......

That is exquisite.
I have always liked that style hilt but have never seen one that was as ornate.
That sword will really be a treasure.

That's another outstanding creation there Nathan. You are indeed a lucky guy. The only thing I can't figure out is why are we beating around the bush? We all know who is building the thing. The question I have is does he STILL not intend to do this for a living?

Well Russ
Assuming {and assuming gets me into a lot of trouble sometimes} we're talking about Erik, he ussually is "all over me" when I'm late on something. He hasn't whispered lately, and I'm late on a couple of 35 inch backblades and one other..... Very unlike Erik.
I think his shoulder is really bothering him....
Well, when he finally calls me to ki*k my ass for being late again, I'll have some news that might cheer him up a bit. Finally got the backblades run with fuller and false edge, so he won't have to kill himself in the future adding that to the blades....
swords are fun

No beating around the bush.. I just have updates on every other Monday and will have the page up then.. but I couldn't wait with this one cause it's so nifty.

Well, he's been working on this piece and we used a different blade maker on this one. The next on his queue is using other blades, too.
I'd like one of those 35 inch backblades with a fuller... could find something for that.

Wow that is a real beauty! I'm not usually one for the swept hilts since I'm a fan of earlier periods, but that one is just gorgeous.
