Ideas for the future, prompted by requests.
Looks like an exceptionally good design,11 1/2" blade, 17 3/4" overall. 3/16" stock. No name yet, though "Barkukri" was suggested, since it is a hybrid of the bird's beak barong style handle, with the khukuri blade shape. Not necessarily feeling that name, but the design suggestion was brilliant, and this is what I came up with.
How do you make that design without a metal pommel of some sortRequest for a Modern Tactical Sting. 19" blade, 26" overall. 1/8" stock so it's manageable for fast cuts with its over 2" wide blade. Design as it looks so far. Though seeing the CAD file extruded I am starting to think maybe 5/32, or even 3/16"........ activate mulling mode

We think alike. Perhaps combing our brain power will make us almost as smart as your cat? ≠That’s what rapiers are for.
You know, another 5-6" on the blade and you could make a proper Viking age sword. Single edge for me, please.Another idea for a Western European inspired short sword. 24" blade, 30" overall. This is just something I would like to do. I may or may not.
So my Barax with ~15 inch blade is good to go still?Going forward, and for an indefinite period, I will be encouraging customers to hire someone who specializes in sheaths or scabbard for big blades if they need one, as my swords and blades over 16" will be made and sold without a sheath or scabbard.
