Very nice. Not something I would want to see in the hands of my enemies.
Approximately how wide is the blade? It looks pretty beefy from the pictures.

In the second pic, is that a spacer your going to be putting on the grip?
Might look cool in the middle of the grip... or 1/4 of the way from the gaurd...
Looks good btw!
The pen is mightier than the sword, especially since it can get past security and be stabbed it into a jugular.
This site would be better if everytime I clicked submit... I got to hear a whip crack!

wow, that is a very beautiful sword. I am wondering, as I love two-handers and viking swords, what evidence is there available for this style?

Wow Eric! That looks like a really nice piece. Good luck with the rest of it. BTW, anyone know if there were actually Viking swords with hand&half grips like this? -Ted

I noticied the spacer as well but in the other pics its not there so not sure if that was part of something not finished at that time of the pic or we will be seeing it in the final piece. As to any evidence of two handers/hand and half for vikings I have never seen any surviving examples but I don't see why not, with some people being slightly taller then the average man you'd think he'd want a sword to match his height but who knows there could be one out there just we haven't unearthed it yet.

I'd like to see that fragment next to a known object so that we could get a sense of it's scale.

Eric, that has a very interesting look to it. I'm actually starting to like it a lot and I didn't at first.
Who's the maker?
