Cross section will be full convexed unless specified usually. "Full convex" isn't really a cross-section so much as a bevel... I'd argue that the "full" in "full convex" indicates it's a continuous bevel all the way to the spine, thus a description of cross-section. Just like "full flat grind" is pretty sufficient as a description. It's worth asking about how the fuller changes that but it wasn't really ambiguous, at least to me. |

It was really the fuller attribute that had me curious. I've yet to be answered by the person I asked, so I'm still waiting to call the matter settled. "Continuous bevel" though, I'm not sure would be great here. I'd honestly prefer it flatter to the fuller with a gradual progression to the edge. Also, how "convex" are we talking? Oh, I forgot to mention re: BrotherNathaniel: I used quotation marks because that's the grammatically correct thing to do when using someone else's words. |

same angle full flat grind or rising convex grind?
could it be done like a kitchen knife/seax?
spine would either have to be overly thick or with too acute of an angle... whippy.
aesthetics would be off at the fuller
suspect purna will put a ridge/bevel below the fuller and curve/split at the tip
we dont see many wheel of time swords, so i am extra thankful alientude is willing to share his frequent updates

I think a defined bevel would hinder the aesthetics of this blade, but one could certainly introduce a soft transition from flat to convex, which I think would work well.
Edit: At least in the fullered portion. The rest could well be a direct convex (of whatever geometry) or maybe even a flattened diamond...

I didn't specify a cross section.
Progress from the first day of forging: |

I just spoke to Purna, he states convex all the way from the spine. How the Fuller changes that or whatever, I am not 100% sure. I even showed him photos of different grinds/cross sections and he picked it out of the line up. i stand corrected then, maybe more of a tulwar/pulwar looking blade (wide), but only rough shaped so far' cant wait |

Looks good so far. I'm curious to see how well he does the side rings on the guard.

I really like the way the ring guards came out. I've asked him to round the tips of the quillions.

I'm not sure how I feel about the guard so far, but if you like it that's good enough for me.
Getting excited to see the finished product.

turning out nicely.
...and there is a central ridge (which is much more aesthetically pleasing imo) unless I am hallucinating
alientude or purna: did u change your mind about the convex? also looks hollow ground which is quite pleasing

May i ask what he charges you for that cool thing? We are going now for a more medieval/fantasy interpretation as a replacement for the ZT "Harvester" we just sold... Purnas drawing so far: i think he nailed it again. He promises the whole thing will be FAR under 1500 g instead of 1800 g at the original design... Attachments:

Great job on the pommel. I think the lines of the guard could be tweaked a little bit, but it's coming together nicely.
