[Matthew Stagmer]

This fall I finished this hanger sword for a pirate re-enactor and I just got it uploaded to our site and thought that I would share it with you all.

It features a custom shaped wide sharp 27" blade with distal taper(3/16" decreased by half over the length of the blade). double hand ground fullers(Swatton style). A short false edge at the tip. A custom shaped clamshell with a forged thumb ring. Spiral fluted cocobolo handle. A wrought iron end cap that was ground to shape. A forged Iron knucklebow that was left crusty(forge scale) by request of the customer.
