Serpentine
Though it's design is pure fantasy, the weight and balance of this sword make it quite usable. The blade is hardened and tempered 1075 high carbon steel. The blade is sharp along the entire front length as well as along half the back edge, from the tip back to the swell. The cross and pommel are one of a kind bronze sculptures. The grip is hickory with a leather wrap over a spiral riser. The pommel is hot peened. The inspiration for this sword is actually an earlier sword which was more extreme in blade shape and much less usable.
