Custom Hanger

[Matthew Stagmer]

This fall I finished this hanger sword for a re-enactor and I just got it uploaded to our site and thought that I would share it with you all.

It features a custom shaped wide sharp 27" blade with distal taper. double hand ground fullers(Swatton style). A short false edge at the tip. A custom shaped clamshell with a forged thumb ring. Spiral fluted cocobolo handle. A wrought iron end cap that was ground to shape. A forged Iron knucklebow that was left crusty(forge scale) by request of the customer.

Thanks for looking. Comments always welcome!

Sweet hanger there Matt! The clamshell guard adds a touch of class along with the spiral cut grip. The thumb ring is an unusual feature on a hanger, but I like it a lot! What's the weight and PoB/CoG on that, if you don't mind?

Nice looking sword, but I particularly like the dragon tongs!!!
