Description I loved working on this sword! A commission for ~yougotredonyou , cosplaying Ike from the game Fire Emblem (a version of this sword also appears in the Super Smash Brothers series).

Lots of fancy router work on this sword to make the pieces fit together. It was a pain but in the end it was worth it not to have to use a steel bar through the hilt. I used lots of epoxy, electrical wire, and hot glue for this. omg. Also, I used up an entire can of white primer on it. (that's pretty epic in my world, bear with me XD)

I don't have a lathe so I had to chisel out the round parts of the hilt by hand ;_;

But...like any artist, as much as I grumble about my works in progress, it's cause I love them!

Imho.. This is more likely Alondite, Ragnell's sister sword. Details on the guard and hilt fits on Alondite, But gold color on the blade goes on Ragnell. Alondite has clear/silver blade.

Still looks really nice.

Thanks! The ref picture I received from my client was this color scheme and detail, so I have no idea actually XD

Yeah, I made Ragnell sword and it's really difficult to find proper ref pictures as there is Alondite and Ragnell, just few details what are different. Main detail is that Ragnell have gold blade and Alondite clear/"silver". I had to make Ragnell sword what can be put into pieces for shipment, as I'm in EU area and my client was in US there is some length limits.

Still, you have made awesome sword.

This is a wonderfull work, the best ike's sword I've ever seen, congratulations!
One curiosity, how do you made to get this yellow color and the material used was wood?

gerodere In reply to edmarbueno [2013-01-04 03:23:07 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's wood! The paint used was just metallic gold spray paint.

There are but only a few people to get my attention in the art of swordmaking....you would be one of them^^ i must say i am truly impressed. This is one of the best ive seen so far. Just finished my Bamboo Katana and now i will continue working on my version of Links Master Sword.

Wow! That is cool! I want one..............Ya know, it's a pitty there aren't more blacksmiths out there to make real versions of all these crazy video game swords......and good ones, too, not no cheap-ass shite that will fall apart.

Anyway......good job, I like it.

gerodere In reply to Philos555 [2010-05-23 02:25:52 +0000 UTC]

thanks! The Ragnell is a strange sword, because the balance in the hilt is so odd, as well as the oval flared shape at the tip of the blade - definitely a two handed sword. A real metal one would be REALLY heavy! It would be awesome to hang above the fireplace though

Philos555 In reply to gerodere [2010-05-23 02:29:34 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! But, for sure, it would probably weigh more than I do! That's exactly what I'd do with it too, like, "You see that sword? That's what I used to kill the Black Knight. Remember that."

FireBall-Stars [2010-05-02 21:30:43 +0000 UTC]

Incredible! The only minor problem is that the white parts of the hilt aren't white in the game. Still, made of awesomeness.
