Big Kachin-style dha in pattern welded 15n20/1084

[J W Bensinger]

The big dha is finally coming together (for a patient, patient fellow)-this is the big brother to the one I posted before

Sterling mounts and stabilized cord grip

The blade is 27" of differential tempered 15n20/1084 pattern weld

What a blade. I love the curvature and squared tip of the design. It's nice to see some sterling silver hardware, which is something I've been wanting to use as well.

Thanks.
The sterling work involved me dredging up silversmithing parts of my brain from nearly thirty years ago...there may have been some cussin' lol

Hard to make a sword without inventing a new cuss or two.

Amazing work! Looks scary and beautiful at the same time.
