"The head of this beautiful, cold-forged weapon was made from mithral, and the shaft was made from adamantite. A diamond coating was magically adhered to the entire weapon after its forging. The head was engraved with magical inscriptions, which were covered by the symbols of the dwarven gods Dumathoin,[2] Moradin, and Clangeddin Silverbeard.[3] Aegis-fang was a cumbersome weapon, but was perfectly balanced for Wulfgar. Any person not over 6 ft 5 in (1.9 m) and lacking considerable strength would have a hard time wielding it properly.[4] Aegis-fang was specifically attuned to its wielder Wulfgar and would magically return to his hand upon his telepathic command.[5] "
have wanted to do this one for a while, since im a bit of a drizzt tragic see sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/62929/twinkle-icingdeath-cannon-version-finished ,and loke bi ass hammers and maces, have had the gear hanging around for years was originally gonna be a pommel but had idea to use it for aegis fang, had to plug hole in front addd shaft to back, made the box from six pieces of flat steel 100mm square, spike is a repurposed steel plum bob, shaft is rebar, based the look around the one irish mike made the cover art for streams of silver with my own twist on it, head will eventually be silvery blue and shaft blackish greenish purplish, gonna be hell to swing but swing it i shall lol will post as get more done

did some more work today cleaned up, painted in first round of paint still have symbols and diamond to go then handle wrap
and just for semprinis n giggles started on a "dwarf" war-hammer made from an off cut of i beam clad in sheet steel still way early on this one but looks huge and appeals to my sense of humor as all the fantasy illustrations show dwarfs with massive hammers/axes

really great work! I have one that is also based on the book illustration but there was lathe access. I did an oak handle with a 1/2 inch steel core. I modified a trailer hitch ball to use as a counter weight. Mine comes in at about 13 LBS overall. What does your weigh?
