Interesting construction method on this one. Ordinarily, one would expect a full tang until the pommel, which was peened, and a mixture of organic and inorganic materials. You have a completely hidden tang and only organic materials. I'm interested in how this impacts the weight distribution and performance. I like your selection of bone and horn. That will look really attractive when finished.

I totally dig it. Can't wait to see how it turns out all polished. |

Looks really outstanding. What's the current weight? 700 grams Purna is going to get it to be around 620 grams he said with the distal taper. |

Looks like it turned out really well! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on its handling characteristics.

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