Sword in process, and some other stuff

[Sam Salvati]

32" blade, 12" tang, will have around a 10" handle. 5160, freehand ground everything, gorund the fuller on a 2" wheel, hollow ground the bevels on a 14". Also, to destress after work and grinding on this thing, I like to do a bit of wood turning, turned this billy club from a chunk of walnut.

I work with a couple people who dont really understand the concept of "dont touch my tools" nor has any respect for tools period, so I made this anvil cover. Still need to add the eyeballs and a chain to lock it through the hardy hole.

Is that billy club to clonk people who use your tools? Those are awesome!

 

[Sam Salvati]

think it'll be a nice blade straightener to use during forging.

 

[Broomhead]

Awesome work!

Really digging that anvil cover, that is hilarious.

[Burton Harruff]

Nice work Sam. That anvil cover is hilarious.

 

[Salem Straub]

I'm with Burton on this one.

Sam, great job on the sword. Those grinds couldn't have been easy.
The anvil cover is the most original idea I have seen in a while.
Can't wait to see it in person.

Nice job Sam I would love to see some better pic of the sword.

 

[Dan Pierson]

Great cover Sam but now they'll just hide the whole thing in the woods...

 

[BallewBlade]

Dude that anvil cover is sweet!

 

[Atlas Knife Company]

Obviously, I love the anvil cover, but why is it red instead of green?

I like the sword, can't wait to see it finished.
