That thing is simply scarry! It would be very interesting to test cut with this one and compare. It's hard to imagine it wouldn't be devastating. It would even be more interesting to compare it to the Dane. Polar opposites but "similar" (sort of) proportions. One question though Mr. Pikula. Will this sword come with it's own dragon? It seems a fitting sword for dragon smiting Laughing Out Loud Every time i look at it I expect to see 3 little holes near the tip though Razz Even if it is a little big for that! Keep up the amazing work! I think everyone is eagerly awaiting what you come up with next!

I'm bumping this as I believe this sword is still available. This thing just screams Bad Ass in a good way. Double fullers AND a wide long blade. It may not be my type but man is it ever intimidating. I'd hate to be the guy on the battle field on the wrong end of that sword.

I'd love to see a video of that monster cutting! To me, it looks a bit like an executioner's sword. I don't mean this in a derogatory sense - it looks scary. I think I would name a sword like that "Justice". 8^ )

Congratulations on a fantastic sword!

Thanks for the thoughts guys, and yes, it is still available Happy

If the sword is still slumbering in the corner this, spring I won't be able to resist doing some cutting and posting videos. The blade is actually pretty stiff and from the unfinished testing I did I'm sure in properly trained hands this blade would do quite well. I've tested smaller blades, and if this blade behaves the same plus 2lbs, I'm going to have to get some bigger water jugs... I wonder if I can cut through a 55 gallon plastic barrel..... Happy
