My latest... I tried a lot of new stuff on it, which mostly worked out. I tried hard to minimize struggling edges...
15" dagger, midrib blade in Zanjir multibar pattern weld with turkish cores and explosion edges. Ball guard and wheel pommel in low layer pattern weld. Grip in "cage of bars" style with twisted pattern bars over leather wrapped walnut core, based an ancient hand and a half sword of Oakshotte XV typology.
Through-tang peened construction with two-piece ferrules and peen block of parkerized iron. 21.5" overall, 1 lb. 8 oz. in weight.

Pics and a vid... hope you like!

That is utterly stunning. I am just wowed. I feel like if you were to ask me if I liked each choice you made individually, I would probably say "nah" to the individual choices. But when you put them all together it is this visually unified object of real beauty.

All of it. I like all of it.
 
Love it. Really like that rib that runs down the middle of the blade. (Anti fuller?)

Let me know if you ever want to test it by stabbing someone. It would be my honour to be run through with this.
 
Just Awesome! looks like a lot of work but it definitely paid off in the end with this beauty. Nice video also Thanks for sharing.
