Hello everyone!
I apologize in advance if the thread is clumsy, but it's my first time posting here. English is also not my first language, so it might be a little inconvenient to read.
To my understanding, S5 is not a frequently chosen steel for swordmaking. It was pretty hard to find any custom makers who even mentioned working on it. Seems to me that S5 is not suited for majority of blade designs, but the one in my mind is carefully thought through. The point is I would like to ask you, fellow sword enthusiasts, for help in finding people who know this steel well and will undertake to make a sword (or a bare blade) from it. I have a very perticular project in mind. It's a meaty blade but could still be considered a historically accurate project. Something like a very thick and short estoc.
Any piece of information would be an invaluable help. Thank you so much for any advice! Have a good one guys!
