You guessed it folks! it`s Jody`s hollow grind leaf blade design!
Acquired the blade from Mike(Albion) 2.5 years ago.
Since then, Sonny(Valiant Armoury) has it. His machinery issues delayed the project since early 2022. Hopefully it will be finished and delivered to me when they are here in AZ. It may be a keeper or will be possibly traded if other party likes it more than me since I`m more of a bastard and two handed sword person.

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

Picked it up from Sonny and Zach today at Valley of the Sun Cutting Tournament (MORDHAU Historical Combat) It was a pleasure to meet them in person finally. They did an amazing job completing the bare blade that I purchased from Albion. I was speechless when I held it. Perfect balance, perfect proportions and incredible balance. This blade was used by Christian Fletcher to make the Maeglasse. After talking to him few times and asking for his permission and blessings I reached out to Mike Sigman from Albion and project started a little over 2 years ago. I wasn`t sure how I`d like the hollow ground blade at first so I thought it would be up for a trade maybe. Definitely a keeper at this point.
Edit: After posting pictures I noticed, pictures don`t do justice on how crisp and beautiful grind lines are. It is perfectly grind and shaped, reflections and light shining kind of looks uneven at some areas but actual sword is perfect in every way.
I highly suggest if you are looking for a custom project reach out to Sonny and Zach at Valiant Armoury.
Next is a two handed leafblade from them based on their inhouse design. Ghost has one as Foehammer. I asked for a few changes with ghost`s recommendations. Should have it in a few weeks too and my leafblade set will be complete.

Nice to meet a Fellow leaf lover, glad you finally got your dream sword together, it's a real beaut, fit for a movie set. The Samson blanks was one of the inspirations for what became my Mastersword, tho it came out with a little more gladius DNA in the end lol  |
