Very nice looking! Always loved the triple fuller look

Looks really good. The perspective is messing with my interpretation of the width, I keep seeing a pointy cinquedea with too few fullers. You should fix that for the next piece, I think you could pull it off.

That's a very nice dagger too, I like it. Man, a triple fuller sword with matching dagger - now that's what I'm talking about! Keep up the good work!

thanks, if i can pull it off, it will be my Own rendition of Excalibur, borrowing elements from the classic look and blending them with my own imagination. It will have the classic Brass/bronze guard and pommel, but wont be the same as the movie, tripple fullers, and a hand and a half grip, either gold wire wrap for the grip, or yellow dyed leather. But thats another story! gotta get the dagger done first!

I'd love to see the finished dagger, and the sword that matches it!

How about a small type T2 pommel and maybe a stubby/short style 6 guard? Also, it needs a dark green leather grip. Blade looks good, by the way. I'm a bit of a sucker for hexagonal geometry, it seems.

Hey there, that's one beautiful sword... kind of looks like mine I need to commission someone to do some work on it (it's a limited edition made out of HC spring steel instead of the regular SS others are made out of) since the leather portion of the handle is made out of some cast material (probably either pot metal or zinc), and the pommel is threaded onto the tang and also not completely solid (according to other reviewers - I've never tried taking mine completely apart yet :oops: ). Will be looking forward to your completed Excalibur set!

thats a shame they took the time to do a quality blade and then topped it off with a semprini pot metal hilt and non peened tang :/

Exactly! Very nice blade and guard with real sapphires (although the runes are supposedly backwards too according to what I've read :lol: ), but ***** hilt and non-peened tang. I also heard lots of them were returned to UC after they were delivered because the blades were twisted. Mine's nice and straight, but am peeved at the low quality in the hilt/tang.

id reccomend taking her apart and seeing whats under the hood, a screw on pommel will work IF the threads are big enough, if its some weak ass piece of 1/8th inch rod welded to the tang it wont suffice, but if its a nice thick section threaded directly onto the tang like the tinker swords, it will be ok, then all you need is a proper grip made up, fit the grip, then put blue loc tite on the tang threads and wrench it down tight and it should be solid as a rock.
