And, yes, these are grapes you see on the hilt and crossguards. The guy that made this call it The Bacchus and was made by a place called Lundegaard Amories in upstate NY. This is what would be considered a hand and a half sword since it would have been usable either with one or 2 hands. It weighs about 8 lbs or so and is about 42" long in total
Matching (sort of) dagger
A variation on a Celtic Leaf Blade. Made by a smith called Little John down in Maryland. The wolves are all hand cast out of brass. This bad boy is about 3 feet long and weighs in at about 15 lbs. A little heavier than what would have actually been used back in the day, but a beauty nonetheless.
Again, a matching dagger. This thing is a beast. I've actually used it as an axe to split firewood while camping. About 16 inches long and weighs about 4 lbs.
I have many others including a true WWII Japanese Officers katana and a bunch of historical recreations that while accurate to a particular time period and type of weapon, are all machine made.
Wow! Those a wicked cool!! Post more pictures!!
How much did they cost if you don't mind me asking?
