Willow leaf and quasi-mandau bush swords
The latest pair of big blades. Usual details, leaf spring, triple hardened in veggie oil, triple tempered, integral socket handles, hemp cord wrap with cotton cork Turk's head knots, shellac to seal the wraps. Shaving sharp.

As with the others of your collection, simplistic beauty sometimes is the best way to go. Been looking at your past works, and I really like the designs you use. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks, Geoff! As much as I admire the skill of those who do embellished knives, my eye is drawn primarily to the overall flow of lines. If the embellishment doesn't compliment or actually breaks up the flow, I don't like it. My own stuff I keep simple, fucntional, and in my eyes, beautiful.
