I've recently got permission and blessing from Anselmo Knives to make my own replica of the Beastmaster sword! It will never be for sale or trade due to copyright but will be cherished in my personal collection.
As a beginner knife maker I'm doing quite well and wanted my first attempt at a longer blade to be something special :)
I want it to be usable and as close to screen accurate as I can get it to be!
With that, would anyone be willing to help me out if you own this sword with key measurements? It be willing to pay $20 just for the inconvenience of doing these measurements needed :)
If you'd be willing to help just let me know!!!
What I'm looking for:
Thickness at the base of the blade and one near the tip (but not on the bevel area)
Width at the base and width at the widest part of the tip
width of the bevel at the base and towards the tip
Overall length, and length from where the guard starts to the end of the handle
width of the handle in both directions (im assuming its more oval obviously lol)
Ive got the blade blank rough ground to shape right now but i left her thick and slightly over sized in each dimension so I could true it up. Just got the last of the canvas micarta for the grip and the brass needed just got off back order and landed at my door last week :)
If i'm able to narrow down a process that I like I want to make my own spin off variants of this blade style to sell once in a while :) maybe ones with a hamon and a japanese flair, or carved wooden handles with a viking flair etc.
