Thank you! This was an early work and has some mistakes. The shape is not quit right on the blade for one thing.

Still not something most people normally see anywhere really.

Yeah, I know. I still have the first sword I ever forged. It was a middle-eastern inspired saber that ended up with to much of a curve. It has some wavers in it, and when I bring it up for a downward slash it pokes me in the back. I keep it around to remind me of ware I was in my craft at that time. I will see about posting some pictures of the saber later on.

Sweet you made a Sword if i was you i'd hang it on the wall as thats not something many people ca claim.
Ouch sounds more like a Swinging sword than a slashing sword if it's tip pokes you in the back.
Could you post a pic of it.

The sword is hanging on the wall in my bedroom. When I have some more time off I will dust it off and snap some pictures. Keep in mind it was my first attempt at forging a saber.

I have a few wall-hanger in my collection. Last time I counted, I have 10 swords and a few knives and short-swords hanging on my bedroom walls. Some are 'wall-hangers', others are martial art form swords, and a couple combat ready swords. And or course my first attempt at a saber, 'Backscratcher'. Some more are stashed in the corner, waiting for me to hang them up.
