Cok guzel!

Very nice traditional form. Did you engrave the text as well? It looks good.

 

[Makermook]

That is beautiful!

Teşekkürler Esav ( Thanks Esav)
Text is no engrave, I make etch ( %30 nitric acid).

 

[Patrice Lemée]

Very Nice! I love that guard.:thumbup:
Can I ask what the text says?

 

[Salem Straub]

Great work, that is a serious piece.

 

[Michael Rader]

Wow. Very nice. That must've been fun to heat-treat.

Yowza!
What does the engraving say?
Will it cut falling silk?

Thanks to all comment. This text, characteristic of traditional Turkish Sword, to mean "Of course, we've promised victory to you"

Did you cast that guard? If so, what was your technique, lost wax?

 

[Burton Harruff]

Very cool. Nice work.

 

[Dan Pierson]

Excellent work. Looks truly classical to me. You clearly put a lot
into that.

It's not a cast Salem, some forge and some weld.
Thanks for all your comments.

hi
very nice kilij
i like the blade shape and yelman
the hilt is very cool and i like the forged ends
- its alway a challenge to quench curved sabers during heat treatment ... with luck it turns out straight

excellent work
Greg

Thanks Greg.

Hi, This is a really stunning sword. Everything just seems to work. Do you make swords commercially? If so do you have a website.

First of all I'm sorry to reply your message late. I couldn't 'cause I was in holiday. I hadn't do this job commercially yet, but I'm thinking to do it 2 years later. I don't have a personal website, but I run a webforum: " www.bicaksanati.com ".
Thanks for all your interests. Regards.
Sefa.
