You ever think about doing an Executioner's Sword inspired by Terminus Est from Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun series?

The octagonal cross section on this one is really attractive and gives the blade dimensions. Excommūnicātiō? Is that a homage to John Wick??

BTW almost all blades in your collection now are forged, right? Including the Tod's, Arms & Armor one, and the hundreds forged by Purna.

That’s beautiful, absolutely stunning. Everything is gorgeous on its own, and fits so well together. Beautiful.

Now follows the conclusion, that whosoever shall think or find himself in his fight too weak for the agent's, or patient agent, and therefore, or by reason of his drunkenness, or unreasonable desperateness shall press within the half sword, or desperately run in of purpose to give hurt, or at least for taking of one hurt, to give another, shall most assuredly be in great danger of death or wounds, and the other shall still be safe and go free.
- PARADOXES OF DEFENCE, George Silver, 1599

A beautiful sword indeed. That is a far cry from the rough blade that he pounded out. It amazes how he kept the lines, especially on the centre ridge so straight while grinding free handed on the grinding wheel. But then that goes to show that Purna is the master craftsman that he is. The blade decoration close to the guard adds much. Congratulations on your new jewel.

I love that grip style and want something like that for myself. I think the final weight is pretty good, all things considered. It's a bastard of a bastard sword.

Blade, handle, pommel, scabbard, thematic...once again, you've outdone yourself Brother.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
