Description
Here's a sword I started many months ago but still haven't finished yet.I've since started several other projects, none finished though.
Steel: CPM 154 (Crucible)
Overall length: 36"
Method: Stock Removal (Ground from bar stock)
The pics were taken at different perspectives and rotated to fit this compiled image so if it looks 'off' thats why.

Nice shape, perhaps a bit long and it looks like it needs a matching twin. I wonder what a matching set of two at 25" would cost?

I'll be aiming for that degree of belt grinder control... someday (currently known as "The Devil with a Face Grinder"). Must burn off a lot more belts.
My congratulations!

how do you shape it? do you plasma cut it or do you use something like a band saw?

I have a bandsaw but its slow so I will normally just grind it down unless I'm trying to save a big chunk of the stock

do you have to use any special type of bandsaw?

This is fantastic! I love the shape of the blade. I'd love to make a sword... but I have no idea how to.

Band saw and belt grinders

A band saw made that clean of a cut? hm. I would figure on something expensive and time consuming..

Lol... just saying I'd really like to see the finished product. It looks like it'll be a beautiful blade. I'm looking forward to seeing this one all done!

Beautiful curves.
I wanted to point out something that occured to me the second I laid my eyes on this picture, though. The area where the blade shifts into the tang of the sword... that angle there ]]== is at 90* degrees. If the sword is ever actually meant to be swung around and to actually cut something, I would suggest making the angle less steep.. something more like 75*. Having the 90 degree angle will greatly compromise on the solidity of the structure, thus in actual use raises the risk of the blade snapping right off it's tang.

Thank you. Do you have a source I can review for this claim? I would be interesting learning about it.

Do you know when this sword is done, and if so, do you have a finished version?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I imagine I will get to it sometime before the year is over. I have a few other things lined up to be completed before that too though, in the sword type stuff I mean.

As with all of your work, it looks like you are doing a great job with this piece too.

wow!!! this is beautiful. Are you saying this is actually real? and you made it?
π: 0 β©: 0
What did you use to grind the piece? It just seems a little to complicated to grind the multi level areas by machine.

interesting design. Is any particular function served in it's design? In terms of cut path or balence, I mean.

Hey. I stumbled across this while surfing DA. I gotta say, this is looking really really good. I haven't seen anything else of yours yet, but this piece shows you have a very strong affinity for the medium and a lot of confidence in your skills/talents. This is a very graceful weapon reminiscent of the elvish blades from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. I certainly hope it turns out as functional as it is beautiful.

Thank you, I reaaaaly want to finish my metal works that I have started.

Hmmm, I think we might have to talk about matching up a weapon with your armour. Especially if I can build the grips for it out of nice exotic wood (maybe snake wood if I can find any).

Snakewood is good stuff, it's pretty expensive though. I have some but not enough for a sword hilt. But I do have my sources and have quite a few types of woods on hand to choose from anyway.

Wow, now that's looking pretty sweet. CPM 154's not too bad either. It looks like a short sword, so it may suit it well.
