New Sword

[Rune174]

Hey guys, I just got myself a new sword that I commisioned from a man I met on youtube. Its a blade that crosses many boundaries between various cultures. It has the handle that has a medieval feel to it and is at least a foot in length. The blade has two separate functions based off the side you choose to use. It looks very much like a katana, except the blade is straight. One side has a typical sharp edge, with a tip to it allowing for thrusting. The other has a serrated edge designed to cut through steel since the blade itself came from a band saw sheet. Anyways, here is a small movie of it, with another one showing the scabbard.

looks bad ass, but is it balanced enough to wield effectively?

The balance is there. He made it so that the sword is balanced, and it took me awhile to get used to since its a real sword as opposed to the typical replicas.

I think he takes submissions, but I saw that vid awhile back and simply requested that he remade it. I don't know if you can put in design ideas. Hell this guy made the Buster Sword and Masamune from FF7.

Be prepared to spend quite a bit. The sword that I showed in the first video costs $300 with shipping and is 250mm long. The second video shows one that is 300mm with a scabbard running up to $600.

That seems about right. I have a leaf blade that I bought at the Renaissance Fair up in Maryland a year ago. Cost me $600. Real swords are not cheap but I've always liked the real thing compared to replicas.
