Title: German Bastard Sword
Post by: 1stmatematt on March 13, 2009, 04:52:23 PM
Here she is. A custom German Bastard Sword made for a steel on steel fighter on the West Coast. It has a custom 36" blade that is diamond ground with a polished out fuller. The guard is made from 3 pieces all forged and welded together. The pommel was hand spiral faceted.

knowing the prices of custom blades this is one sweet sword (green w/envy). Looks well made, heavy but hopefuly well balanced
