I’m not into designing, but isn’t a 5” grip for “more of a bastard/hand & half sword” a bit short?

Today's update, all 3 swords have their handles in place and put together to see how they look before final prep work begins next week.  |

I'm not the one making them, I am just posting the pictures the smith, Purna Darnal sent to me of the swords I am getting from him. |

Good to know. I've been in touch with him for a couple of potential commissions, so it's good to see some of his work in progress. |

No not really, and especially with it combined with a scent stopper pommel you get a little more room from that as well. If it is meant to be used with one hand, but there is technically room for a second hand for big strikes, I think this length is adequate. It's quite literally a hand and a half sword. |

The sword is super cool and all, but I would love to play with the two little fellows (he said with no intention of lewdness).

One of the short swords will be available for sale when it arrives, the girlfriend found another sword she likes better so, one will have to go to help fund the other one :) |

Those scabbards look super pretty, Eric. They are much improved from his previous build styles.
