Jeff, this truly shows that you are a master of your craft, undoubtedly on par with the top dogs in the custom market. So, once more, I must give you this:

I swear that's better looking than the original...BB, you're something else man, something else entirely. That is an incredible looking sword- my goodness. I need to wipe down my keyboard now.

Thanks sparky Thanks a lot enkidu! I have actually been making a meager living from bronze for the last few years, but the art world can be a tough way to make a profit. I've just now started to move more into trying to make a living from bronze specifically as parts of swords since That's what I really enjoy. Thanks ChrisA Thank you Seth Thanks Shadow, I felt the same as a kid. Though I always had the tiniest preference for the Father's sword over this one. It is a beast though, wish I had some dragons or something to chop up. Hey Jonathan, coming soon Thanks a lot leoghen ;D Thank you very much pogo Thanks stonehart, I feel ya on the $$$. I'm in the same boat, that's why I had to make the dang thing myself My humble thanks kidcasanova he he Thanks Phillip ;D Thanks Brendan, I look forward to seeing how you end up doing your blade. Thanks sharneee (I think you might have one too many "e" in there) Wow, thanks Ebon And thanks to everyone for your patience while I worked on this project. I'm really pleased that everyone seems to like how it turned out. Cutting vid to come later.

I am not a fan of the other manufacturers' models, but I actually like yours a lot. I bet you could cut through five tatami mats with that!

Glad to hear that BB, nothing's more satisfying than living by your craft !
Hey Bren, you're up next ! Still working on that longer blade ?

Thanks Jonathan That would be an interesting challenge; how many mats will this sword cut through? To bad mats are kind of expensive. Going to get some bamboo from the neighbor and have a go at that first. Indeed enkidu! Well, living might be a bit of an exaggeration, squeaking by might be a more appropriate fit

........................................................2 1/2 thumbs up! 2-1/2, hell..... I'm kicking my shoes off and giving four thumbs up! ;D This is the kind of sword I'd like to own, but my bank account does not have enough numbers to the left of the period on the balance line, not to mention the comma!

Incredible work BB. Project of the year IMO. You are truly a great Artisan. It need's a scabbard now!

Thanks gearloose p.s. monkey-feet Thanks a lot RicWilly ;D Thanks again utilityslave Thank you very much Brian ;D Yeah, genuine wild dog skin scabbard? I imagine the langets would make scabbard design tricky for this blade. I'll have to watch the movie again to see how he managed to carry it around without it falling out.

He just stuck it in a corpse and slung it over his shoulder.
