Just about done. Not sure if I like my wrap job on the handle yet.

[Tiiiiiiiim]

Gosh.

 

[Sparljo]

Love this one...

You just get better and better!

 

[saint o'killers]

Very nice! What's the weight on it?

 

[mcswood]

Thank you.
It's 28. 1/4" overall and weighs 38.5 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 20" X 1. 1/4" X 1/4" thick (3/8" at
the catchers).
The two hand handle is 8" long with a epoxied hemp wrap
between the 1018 steel bolsters and pommel.
That's a full tang in there.
I'll get some better pics. when I make a sheath.

That is fantastic. Very badass.

That handle is the bee's knees, brother... but I'm a sucker for hemp wrap.

Mike,

That thing is just all kinds of woo-hoo!



The pieces I've got are wicked and they get better and better every time you post a new one.

There you go again.. Just awesome..

Love your work.

 

[mcswood]

No sheath yet but it's sharpened.
Rick, I've admired your beautiful wraps.
This was my 1st. shot at a hemp wrap so
my hopes weren't too high for other than
a good comfy grip. And it is that.

Love it Mike. I'm quickly becoming your #1 fan.

Thank you.
I'll call this a two hand recurve short sword
when/if it hits the for sale section.
