Looks awesome, but you'd likely want a guard to protect your hands and a pommel so the sword isn't so forward-heavy. You could drill out a section of the hilt and throw in lead weights for an invisible 'pommel'.

@@infamoushacker4chan883 thanks mate. Yeah definitely i am already planning on a real sword. This was kind of a test piece to train how to grind such a long bevel

[@envyofages]

If you want cleaner lines might be good to rig up a jig, to keeps the blade steady and even, while grinding.

[@forgeworks3176]

yeah but for such a big blade it would be kinda weird to work with a jig and i like the free hand style i can adapt easily

[@envyofages]

@@forgeworks3176 It ain't gonna be a big jig. Something with some adjustability for straight edged blades would give you a lot more control. But I get what you mean. We all got a good look at yer free handin', what with you nearly loosing your nubbins and all.

What's tactical about having no crossguard, a grip that gets slippery easily, an awful ballace due to said missing crossguard and the introduction of 2 potential breaking points near the hilt? Looks really cool though, I'll give you that.

[@forgeworks3176]

@@AuraAian yeah that was the goal looking cool and to have fun with it. This was more a test piece for other projects in the future to see what i am capable of

[@DonSchinkel]

Not really seeing this breaking near the hilt. Plenty of material. Crossguard wont do much for balance either. A pommel/weights in the handle would be nice though!

Cool Sword!. Sorry about your contact wheel and SC belt and happy you didn't get cut up. I had the same thing happen to me when I was first using a SC belt and didn't know I shouldn't grind against an edge. My wheel was only 6in though, so not that expensive to replace.

[@many_lives4925]

I didn't know just grinding away at a flat piece of steel constituted as "making a sword". I'm too used to seeing people forge it out from billets I guess. And the heat treat did not look at all hot enough or consistent enough throughout the blade to make it reliably hard.

[@forgeworks3176]

yes it is also possible called stock removal. I would love to forge one out for sure. But i have a full time knifemaking job so i can’t spend a whole week on hammering on a piece of steel and it also goes to show that you can definitely make a sword without crazy forge equipment
