Description

Welcome all of you in this hopefully beautiful new year! -well, time will tell...


I would like to share with you guys the biggest, hardest, bad-ass'st and most awesome project of mine from the last year. It was a true privilege and honor, that I had the luck to make this one.

It is my vision of a scimitar, naturally forged of my own damascus steel. The handle is iron and wenge.


I wish a splendid year to everyone!

Extremely intriguing blade design... how long did this take you to make?

All in all it took about 2 months to make.

Looks great... except I'm not sure it's a scimitar. Looks more like a falcata with a sharpened false edge.
But I'm not, in any way, a sword expert.

Could be. I am not an expert either

Stunning! It's nice to see a larger piece from you every once in a while.

Yeah, it is also nice to make something big now and then.

Thanks! About 5 cm in front of the handle

It would do well in some of the Chinese saber (Dao) forms.

Wow, that is awesome!  Did you have to upgrade your forge and quench tank to do that?

Thanks!
Not really. I originally made the forge in such way, that its fire nest could be extended for larger blades.
And my oil tank is quite massive too, it can swallow swords and axes of all shapes and sizes. Basically it is a huge barrel

RensKnight In reply to hellize [2018-01-06 19:55:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh good, that was a smart way to do it. I’ve seen too many people on Forged in Fire get to the final challenge with the large weapon only to find their shop doesn’t easily accommodate big swords and be scrambling to do upgrades!

And you’re very welcome!

hellize In reply to RensKnight [2018-01-07 10:12:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
Well, how should I put it... Forged in Fire is a tv show, so it doesn't exactly reflect real life, if you know what I mean.

RensKnight In reply to hellize [2018-01-07 13:24:59 +0000 UTC]

You’re welcome! And yes, while that’s true, I haven’t known you long enough to know if this was your first full-length sword.

This one was a commission so it isn't available,but if you wish, I would gladly make a similar one, it would be 650 euro

uderzoin In reply to hellize [2018-01-06 20:34:22 +0000 UTC]

Than you very much but I don't gave money. It's awesome and it's not expensive.

Thanks!
Unfortunately this one is quite a big one which demand a lot of work and materials, hence the price

uderzoin In reply to hellize [2018-01-07 11:13:39 +0000 UTC]

It's really awesome. Ancient craftsmanship should be valued more. I bet big swords would sell great, price is really not that much.
