I still have these two swords available for sale.

I want $2500 on the mono steel type XV this sword was made in a class with Peter Johnsson using his method of geometric design,and his methods of constructions and dynamic tuning. The blade is 1075 with nice subtle hamon, the fittings are 1045, and it includes a custom Oak stand. this sword is stiff in the thrust but quick and agile in the hand. I found it to be a good cutter.

The asking price on the damascus type XV is $3500 it is a 500 layer random pattern blade of 15n20 and 1080 the fittings are wrought iron and there are two Carnelians set in the pommel, this sword includes a oak display stand.this sword was also begun in the class and peter helped me work out a different geometric basis for the design, and i completed the sword in my own shop. this sword is the polar opposite of the first, it is light and fast wanting to fence. It cut well and is still stiff enough to be effective in the thrust. the point just dances in your hand.
