I think this sword is a beauty. The scababrd is gorgeous and the fittings all look top notch. As far as the handle is concerned, it's difficult for me to say it's "too" anything without knowing the width of the blade. While the proportions may not sit with what some here think are "historical" ones, I think it looks quite nice. Frankly, as long as it fits the hands of it's owner, to me the point is a moot one. If one peruses John's site you will view swords with proportionally smaller handles. I think the Slice 3D is one beautiful sword!

John you work seems to be getting better and better. LOL the analogy that come to mind when I think of you is Prince. The man seems to live to make music and put sout more than any artist I know of. Same with you buddy. You seem to porduce high-quality , gorgeous work of varying types with an unusual output. As Nathan said this is refreshing in the custom industry and it's fun to see your pieces turn out so beautiful in the amount of time you take to make them. So if you are feeling Delirious or if you feel like the Purple Rain is spoiling your Parade, just remember to think John, Baby I'm A Star!

Well I am not much for grey, but I gotta tell ya that is one beautiful sword and I like the grip the way it is, lotta power feeling in that grip, looks as though it would feel extremely secure and solid in the grasp.

Thanks,

Bob
