German hunting sword in progress
I've been procrastinating studying for an upcoming professional exam, so I've actually been finishing up old projects!
Here's a cable damascus hunting sword in the works. I have a few ideas for hardware down on paper, but still tweaking ideas. The blade is 20" long, ~1.5" wide and ~3/16" thick average along the spine. The forward half has a false edge beveled along the top. It's made from improved plowshare cable. I'll be going hog hunting in June, maybe I'll get to use it. |

Looks nice, but you'll have to make up your mind - is it for German hunting, or hog hunting?

It's for hunting Prussian Boars, of course!
I like it. Nice shape, and cool pattern. |
