Little History of Conan the Barbarian
Conan the Barbarian was sold into slavery with the rest of the children from his village and forced to perform intense manual labor. While the other children die, Conan grows strong, and is eventually sold and forced to fight as a gladiator. One night, however, his new owner spontaneously sets him free. From that point, Conan dedicates his life to exacting revenge on Thulsa Doom. He travels the world looking for the warlord's symbol, the two-headed snake. This sword was designed from the sword he used during his training in the far East, by the Oriental Warlords.

Hm, I'd very much like to see the vids of how it holds up to use - I like the size a lot, but it's no easy trick to make a good working sword - because of the extra length, the blade is exposed to way more stress than a shorter knife has to deal with.
 
A couple things... first of all, how can you possibly make a sword like that and sell it for under $200 and make any profit? Secondly, I have been watching your stuff from your first post here on BF an you have come a long way, you took criticism well (after a bit:)) and really took your stuff to a new level. I like what you do and you are quite the editor (youtube). Lastly, you must drink 50 gallons of milk a week.

Cool sword.

Your right. I’m not making a big profit at the price I sell it for on Bladeforums. I work my tail off for every item I sell here. My goal is to spread my name among collectors, and this is the place to do it. The items I sell here are at a discount compared to my web site prices, but as you know, these are the key collectors you want.

Thanks for the great comments. Knife and sword making has become an uncontrollable passion in me. Although it’s really hard work, it’s still very enjoyable to me. Thanks for your comment on my videos too. I’m growing a youtube customer base, and it’s kind of exciting. I’ve started to have to use a customs broker because most of them are in other parts of the world.

Your right, our family consumes a ton of milk a week (over 4 gallons a week :eek:). Between the kids and my cereal eating habits, it goes fast. At least I found a use for them :D

Cool! Like the videos also. :thumbup:

Can you explain the handle construction?
Is the blade flat ground?

Thanks.

As far as the handle. The guard, I split in two. Routered it out a bit, and sandwiched it around the tang with two hidden pins. From the handle back to the butt is one entire piece of oak. I cut it and shaped it to the handle I wanted, and then sliced straight down the handle itself, the thickness of the tang. I drilled several holes in the tang and the wood of the handle. Then slide it over the tang and applied a ton of gorilla glue. Then wrapped a lot of tape around it so the gorilla glue wouldn't expand out, so it would stay inside going into all the holes. When it dried I took the tape off, sanded it down and tightly wrapped leather around it. It aint going anywhere. Very sturdy.

As far as the grind, yes it is, kind of. I flat ground it, but then also have about 3/4 inch grind at the edge. So its kind of a two part grind. :D Hope that answers your questions. Didn't know how to explain it shorter.
