Landsknecht
This is a larger sword based on a similar prototype version I made some time ago. The double fullered blade is forged from 80CrV2 steel and is hardened, tempered, and sharpened. The hilt components are sculptural quality silicon bronze which has been polished over an antique patina. The pommel is keyed and hot peened to the tang. The grip has a wood core with cord wrap and leather overwrap.
