Yatagan Sword

[Julian Antunes]

Hello again everyone, I would like to show you another one of my newest works, it's an ottoman turkish inspired Yatagan sword, it has a 23 1/4 " blade and about 29" OAL. The damascus pattern is a modified turkish twist with 6 bars. The handle is mammoth ivory with pins in 950 silver. The inlay and details are in 18K gold. It is an integral construction and weighs about 2 pounds. The scabbard is wood covered with elephant skin and damascus fittings matting the blade. The pins on the scabbard are also in gold. Hope you enjoy.

Here is a quick YouTube video.

Thank you so much guys, I'm so glad you liked. This piece was a challenge, the size of the billet of twisted bars alone was huge Haha. I started with about 16 pounds of steel.
