Titanium alloy sword WIPs

[Mecha]

The making of Mad Science Forge titanium alloy swords, among other oddities!

These threads contain lots of info about the the metallurgical and practical theory for making these blades.

Titanium alloy Pompeian gladius: Bombus Gladius, the buzzing sword. This blade is carried by its owner when he walks his property.

Mighty miniature take-down gladius: inspired by the Bombus Gladius, this tiny sword was made for someone with a collection of miniature swords made from exotic materials.

Titanium zweihander: Odonata, the dragonfly zweihander. A special request, to see what a huge forged ti sword would be like.

Not a WIP thread per se, but the one that accompanies the most complete WIP video. This blade represents a strong push toward what I think of as an optimal ti alloy large blade design, for sword or machete.

An attempt to create a Lorien design big blade, the TitaniLor: This exercise helped get to the bottom of how this ti alloy would compare to a similar steel blade.

The Undergrowth Organizer blades: basically sword-like machetes. A good way to refine sword blade making techniques and refine the overall design for a more advanced ti sword.

Bronze knife: this was an impromptu WIP of making a forged bronze knife. Since then, I've been in contact with a metallurgist who is making custom bronze specifically for knives. More to come on that...
