(Source: me  )
Reconstruction of an (black sea) scythian akinakes of the 6th century BC with organic hilt. Some scythians seems to prefere bronze weapons during the early iron age.

Looks good. What are the hilt materials?

Very nice. It makes me remember why the Greeks lamented the transition from the Bronze Age.

Nice job Steve. Did you make the blade or take it from an existing piece?

That's very nice looking. Great job. Bronze weapons are always very attractive, this one is no exception.
The pen may be mighter, but the sword is much more fun.
