Sinuous bush sword

[Storm Crow]

In addition to feeding mosquitos and getting ready for the Blade Show, I've been working on a fair number of commissions this month. Three of them are variations on my sinuous bush sword. This is the first one finished.

The blade is 16", forged from 5160, with an integral socket handle wrapped in marine epoxy-impregnated paracord. The raised clip is a false edge.



A black Kydex sheath to accompany it.



And a look at it in hand.



The second of these got heat treated tonight, and the third will have to wait until after the Blade Show to get finished up. And now to hit the hay so I can get to working on sharp-and-pointies in the morning.

Agreed, that one looks very nice. Stormcrow I'm still using the hell out of that Mongolian sword grip wrap from your tutorial video, it's working splendidly! Gotta doubly thank you for posting that one.

Thanks, guys!

Mecha - Good to hear. That's why I dressed nicely and put on my best blue jeans for the video.
