Looks a lot like the dagger from Dark Souls. Try stabbing in the back!

Looks a lot like the dagger from Dark Souls. Try stabbing in the back! That's not accidental. The guard and pommel are covered in symbols from the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne (along with Latin and Anglo-Saxon runic translations of "Praise the Sun" and "Grant Us Eyes"). I plan on etching the blade with the same symbols and phrases.

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

That looks really great man! If you decide you don't want to tackle the cut off blade tip, I'll take it off your hands.

Update: Ready to acid etch the Bloodborne themed side of the blade (the other will be Dark Souls themed). The blade's edge has been taped off (and the tape's edge painted over), and the designs have been drawn with a paint pen as a resist. Inside the fuller I have written a Latin translation of the phrase "Grant us eyes" (DONA NOBIS OCVLOS). The fuller is surrounded by artistic flourishes meant to be reminiscent of blood vessels, tendrils, coral, and similar organic structures. Past the fullered section of the blade are two final symbols from the Bloodborne game - the Caryll rune for "Eye," and the rune for "Hunter." Hopefully, I will have better luck with this etch than I did with my first couple of attempts on the guard and pommel.

More edgy than a double edge sword

Can't wait to see how this turns out. So far, it looks amazing

Update for June 22 2018 I'm pretty much finished. I have a bit more work to do getting the edge where I want it, but otherwise I am happy with where it's at. Side 1 (the Bloodborne themed side) DONA NOBIS OCVLOS (approximately translates to "grant us eyes") Caryll Runes for "eye" and "hunter" Side 2 (the Dark Souls themed side) LAVDARE SOLEM (approximately translates to "praise the sun") Covenant symbol for the "Warriors of Sunlight" and the "Darksign" mark of the accursed Undead The final blade length is just over 18 inches (45.72 cm). The final weight is right at 2 pounds (0.907 kg). The CoG is about 1 inch (2.54 cm) past the guard.
