I normally stay in shop talk but I am trying to venture out into the other places on the forum. What better way to introduce my self then a few pictures of my latest sword.
Blade is 15n20/1075 that is a twist/ladder pattern. All the furniture is wrought iron with elk antler, copper and water buffalo horn handle.

Holy moley that is beyond beautiful. What elegant lines that are so pleasing to my eyes. You have that special talent where your blade looks almost alive. Not everyone ends up with results like this.

Cutlasses have always been one of my favourite European swords. Sabres too. This cutlass is simply beyond.

Congradulations your work is astoundingly beautiful to me.
 
Garbage.

Just kidding, that's freaking amazing!
 
Really nice-looking steel, and a crazy pommel!

What he said. Although hard for me to define objectively, but is a quality that I usually see in antique pieces. Top notch work!
 
Thank you guys for all the kind words
