Description The whole thing. Blade is 16" (>41cm), and a pattern-welded piece by knarlyknives, here on DA. The edge is leaf spring, the center is wrought iron and the spine random pattern of leaf spring and mild steel. The sheath is made of black, vinegarooned leather with copper and brass bands on it. This is a wicked cool piece... Pics of the sheath will follow soon!

YEah- the wrought iron is amazing stuff.  Sadly- I need to re-etch the whole thing, as it got a bad rust streak on it....

No, it's fine- but now I need to re-etch the whole thing, and that is a pain in the ... bottom...  on a hilted knife~

Thank you!  It is a wonderful blade that I was able to finish.  There will be many more from that smith as soon as I can get back to work in the shop!

Thank you!  The blade pre-ground and hardened/tempered was made by narlyknives.deviantart.com/ . I did the final grinds and shape as well as the hardening and handle work, and well-eventually the sheath, too.  KK does amazing forge-welded blades, and I'm privileged to be able to have him as a resource for great works!  I'll have several more Viking blades from him going up in the next few weeks, too.

Ooo I have always had a soft stop for Viking blades . . . -_-; that was a very bad joke *facepalm*. You think you will be doing any shields along with them?

Well, I did the one on my page, which was a fast and dirty plywood mostly for costuming reasone.  I mean, it's a great sheild, but not right.  Too heavy and thick at the edges~  


But yes, although to be of the proper size for me- it'll be 39-42" in diameter...  I have the lumber drying in the shop, and I'll break out the hide glue one of these days~


And we ALL have soft spots for blades- viking or no!

Well now I'm just hearing EXCUSES!!!

Will EXCUSES keep you alive in the wasteland?

I think NOT!!


Well- if you make it out west here, hit Northern Nevada (Not Las Vegas!) and we'll go shooting all sorts of fun stuff!
