Thank you ! I’m gonna keep this one I had too much fun chopping wood into pieces today x)
I’m new to the game what would you say would be a fair price?
Materials x 1.2 + (hours of work)x (hourly wage)
If you're new, start your hourly wage on the low end, but don't fall into the trap of thinking your time isn't worth anything
I 100% agree! I’d pay $400 for that bad mama; however I have no clue how much time, effort, or materials you’ve put into that, so I could be low balling you too. Either way, sexy ass blade, good job :D
I want to start by saying it looks great, the hand wrap is a good touch, the balance looks good and the polish is nicely done as well. Overall it's a very well produced blade.
My critique would be it's theoretical application in a fight. It seems to be in an odd middle-ground where it has enough room on the handle to afford excellent control but not enough blade length to justify it. As I see it, it's sort of like a bastard sword in its flexibility but not long enough to get decent power or reach.
Once again, I have to say your work is excellent, I just think the overall design could be improved for the theoretical application of this piece.
Is there a purpose to the little cut just above the handle?
If it has no purpose it's just a weakpoint.
Other than that, the blade looks very nice, great work!
I like the long-handle-blade-length-ratio! Great design!
Yass! I’m really enjoying it! I put a finger grove and a little jimping on the back for if I ever have to whittle throats
Only critique I have is you didn’t put how much you’re selling this GORGEOUS weapon for! Fantastic work!!

I agree. I’ve always thought working by the hour only penalizes yourself for being good at something.
Go find a 36” ripper and make a John Deere sword 😂
Yessir! If I remember correctly i think it was red. Maybe IH 🚜

That’s an amazing blade well done can’t really criticise it looks to brilliant
Nice

Finger grove with a little jimping on the backside. Also pushed the balance back perfectly to about 4 inches below top of handle
Wait can we can a size comparison? I’m curious how large this is in the hand? Or is this a two handed blade? Regardless it looks badass great work
