Twisted Long Sword! (Pattern Welded)

[Matthew Stagmer]

It has been quite a while since I have had the chance to share some recent work with you all. I have a ton of catch up work on forums and our website so please forgive me.

This is a blade that we forged last year and just never got around to finishing it.
It is 29 layers with several twists. The hilt is 13 layers and the wood handle is desert ironwood.

The details on this sword are subtle. Nothing over the top. Just a nice sweet sword that feels great in the hand.

Thanks gents! This is one of the last blades in a line of low layer sword blades that we did last year. It's fun to play with the bold patterns of low layer damascus.

Wow... That's quite nice. I like the contrast of low layer damascus. The twists look great.

Thanks Stuart, I can't agree more. I have 2 more low layer sword blades to finish. One flachion and one yatagahn. After that it will be a run of crucible steel swords and high layer. The first of which will be a feather damascus sword. My brother just welded up the billet last week.
