Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but if the blade blued? Or is the stark-white background playing tricks on my eyes?

it has shades of blue. but the shades change depending on the light. the blade has a mirror finish after that i used ballistol. because of this there are reflections on the blade

Cool, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up.

I'm with the others, what are the measurements (length, weight, etc)?

Weight 914 g. I have had problems with heat treatment in the past for blades with a T-section. that's why I didn't make the blade thinner

A bit heavy but not unreasonable.

I'm a fan of T-section blades, so I'm curious: How do you make yours? Vice?

I'd say not bad at all, by my calculations, if the POB is under 7.5".

What is the POB by the way?

Very impressive.

Darn, I trained for the Third World War, but what I got was War in the Third World.
"Specialization is for insects" -- Robert A. Heinlein
“Do not draw, do not force others to draw. Do not cut, do not force others to cut. Do not kill, do not be killed. Even if one encounters the greatest of sinners, one should kindly offer sermon and show them the path of good men. If the worst occurs and they do not conform, then without hesitation apply kesagiri and send them to Buddha.”

I forgot exactly where POB is. I'm going to ask the friend I made the sword for.

Interesting; first time I've seen that. Only watched a few seconds of the video, as I'm at work, but I'll finish when I get home. Looks like it does well so far. Still a really, really nice looking sword.

Ouroboros: Fascinating. Our weather in Ottawa is guided by the arctic jetstream. When it dips low under james bay. Ontario gets smoked with cold. The great lakes provide an incredible ammount of lake effect snow that usually buries anyone along the St Lawrence Mar 1, 2023 16:20:31 GMT *
