new fantasy style blade

[neil g]

Here is a fantasy blade that i finished for a guy i work with. It was inspired by the elvin blades used in the lord of the rings. It is made out of c1045 and is quenched using super quench. It features a 27 inch blade, a 20.5 inch recurve handle . The blade has 1.25 inch of sori and the sword weighs 3.5lbs, the overal length is 48 inches. The handle has a full tang with ash wood wrapped in a suede type leather with a simple cord wrap, the fittings are all made of brass. The case is made out of poplar wood done in the same wrap, and brass fittings. hope you like it is the last blade made from c1045 that i'm doing. I'm trying some cable blades next.
