Hell ya!

You've got my interest. Will it have distal taper?

I look forward to watching this project. I like the design sketch.

 

[mrjet1982]

Thanks guys ! Not sure on the distal taper yet... we will see though. I wish I had a mill so I could do some fuller from handle to swedge maybe one day..

 

[mrjet1982]

I know for sure it will be a full flat grind

Some more work done on a customer's Wasteland shortsword.
Pre HT grind done . It's ready for the tang and pommel holes, then into the fire it goes ;-)

Here is some progress on the wasteland !
What a beast this thing is turning out to be
Messing with a little hammered finish and I have to say that I think it's turning out awesome. Just a little more on the top and bottom of the tang and this beast will be ready for the fire . I'll grind the swedge when it's done with HT. let me know what you guys think !

I quite like that. I'm interested in the weight and point of balance. Good work.

 

[Camber]

That is turning out great Jet!

Thanks guys ! I'm exited about this one !!
