Lonely Wolf Forge and Sanmarc Forge are pleased to present...The Butcher's Blade. This blade was superbly hand hammered out of a block of steel by Marc Sanford and Finished off by myself in collaboration with Mike Jia (LemueltheLemmer) to bring Jeff Borcherts(Merrick) vision of the Hawk themed guard and pommel to life in Aged Bronze. This sword is well balanced, powerful, and like all my blades...super super sharp. The specs will be listed below. Thanks for watching. *Specs* Blade Length: 32.5" Blade Width: 2.5" (at shoulder) Grip Length: 8.5" Overall Length: 43" Weight: 3lb 6.1oz POB: 5" from guard at makers mark Blade Material: Hand Forged 5160 Spring Steel Grip Material: Wood core with cord wrap and Leather wrap Hilt Parts: Solid Cast Bronze

How was the bronze work done? Details! :) I created 3d models for the hilt parts, had them printed in nylon and then investment cast in bronze. It’s inspired in a broad sense by Jody Samsons work and I’m hoping it feels like something out of the Conan universe..

Excellent work! Definitely has a Samson(esque) look to it. Very impressive, the way it all comes together.
