Definitely THE most intricate yet practical piece made by Purna so far, and I have seen A LOT of his work, including two pieces I designed, and one Brother Nathaniel sent me. Everything seems to indicate that this sword handle like a dream, while having just the right amount of ornament. Well done, both the Levin Lance as the designer, and Purna Darnal as the craftsman!

Since I am one of the lucky few who watched this piece evolve from design to finished piece, I will reflect on the following:
1. I am grateful you provided a side by side comparison of Tod's 1:1 replica of the museum piece. This shows you took the museum piece and used it as a template to design an entirely original piece. If you stripped away all the layers and embellishments, the lore and the anachronisms, the original museum piece is there, albeit with some slightly different proportions. This is historic fantasy at it's absolute best. Let the dullards enjoy their 1:1 replicas. I want to see my fantasies come to life!
2. Purna is so talented at bringing your dreams (and nightmares) to life. He's basically your psychoanalyst at this point. He ought to charge by the hour.
3. The grip work is fantastic, but the brass work is phenomenal. Find me someone in this industry who can work with brass better than Purna, because you can't.
4. Our man Purna is really evolving. I think this is proof that with some guidance and experience, he can definitely fabricate replicas of historic European swords. The ONLY thing holding him back from making perfect 1:1 replicas is access to museums.
5. This piece fits within your lore so perfectly. It has everything: history, art, gothic romance, horror, religion, you name it.
Well done, sir!

I stand by what I said, this is most likely my favorite piece you've done to date. It's not everyday you take a masterpiece and create it's equal! Personally, I love the broader dimensions. Suits my style a little more. I can't wait to see your next project!

Man that is beauitful, I really dig this design. It's one of my favourite long sword designs I've ever seen, would look beautiful with the white chapel toothpick!

Sharp blades are good to have, if Shire-folk go walking, east, south, far away into dark and danger.

Wow. You shouldn't be allowed to post this kind of stuff. Sword porn just makes me all lusty and needy! This is incredible! I have to go change my shorts now...
