It appears to have character. The real test will be how will it handle? Looks great.

I really like what they did with the furniture. Not too sure how I feel about the blade itself; I'm kinda "meh" on damascus in general but the pattern is clean enough. Can't tell how long it is, but it seems kinda short? Would like it better with deeper curve, but everything in this entire post is 100% subjective so it doesn't matter at all.

I am pretty sure I am seeing the Trident (Trishul) of Shiva at least. ^^

If you notice, the Damascus pattern even has a tiger stripe quality to it. I admit that's pretty much the one reason I do like this particular damascus. Okay, so it's bigger than it looks.

I've been wondering why I haven't received an update from him in a few days on my piece, and it's because he has been finishing up that beautiful yataghan and this amazing piece. I really love the fittings. They have such character and they tell a story.

Looks fantastic in person Brother :) It will be interesting when he builds my custom scimitar/talwar I got a feeling he's going to use the same blade but I went with just 5160 blade steel instead of the damascus, will be interesting to see how they both compare.

What was the design process like? I'm interested in commisioning a Shamshir from him, I want the sword to have a dragon/fire theme but I'm not that well versed in middle eastern folk lore to come up with a cohesive design

This was when I was a fledgling designer though. Can you draw it or at least have examples of photos or art aesthetics that are relevant? Nope, cant draw for semprini lol. The main design I know for sure I want is gold dragon scales on the scabbard with dark red leather. I'm not sure what to put on the guard or pommel.

After looking at another custom I think I wanna implement something like this on the grip, maybe a spiraling dragon.

The tang is your typical tapered stick tang, peened at the pommel with pitch filling the handle cavity. Certainly strong enough đź’Ş Thank man, I made my debut into digital art a couple days ago. There will be more where this came from. I have on in the works And that's pretty b*dass you went traditional? (were they peened? I'm sure some of them are). Have you cut with it?

Yes, and yes, but not any hard cutting, really. So what are the dimensions?(width at the base, distal taper etc)
