76 grams, 105mm cutting edge, 235mm overall length 115CrV3/55NiCrMoV7 low layer ladder pattern. Turkish walnut handle and copper/brass mokume gane bolster. What do you think about this model please let me know 🙏🏽
Quite annoying...
just re-vamped the forge and now I can't really use it. can't be bothered to write lots here so if you want to find more info Ive got a YouTube channel (@libralonproductions is the keyword)
It took about 6 hours overall but we made our own bands.
Cutting edge is ~110mm and I used %4 nickel alloy 45NiCrMo16 for white layers and spring steel for black layers on my suminagahsi with a pure nickel in between core steel apexultra. I used whetstones to achieve 0,1mm thickness behind the edge and you can flex it with your thumb nail.
I left one without a handle so if someone is interested I can finish it with as desired. I use mokume gane as bolster which I make in my workshop with copper and brass. Left one has stabilized walnut and on the middle is stabilized chestnut.
What do you think about my petty version?
For context: I'm a complete beginner and I know making a sword is probably VERY unrealistic for my skill, but I'd still like to try. Also I have absolutely no tools at all.
