Another "Over The Top" creation!

Another reason I hate to take a peak at this Forum.

I'll "Grant" you this, its a new milestone for your Shop.

Guess that would be a "no-no" for carry-on baggage.

Great work there fellers. Looking forward to seeing Y'All at Blade.

How much distal taper is there from the guard to the tip?

Good question Rob. I'll look into that when it comes back in leather.

we will DEFINITELY need an updated sheath/scabbard photo... PLEASE????

That sword needs a shoulder harness!

Tom Flynn

How would that be measured, or calculated ?
This was an interesting question.

Mike,

It's the cross section thickness and easily measured with a caliper or micrometer along the blade. In other words the blade is thinning to the point.

Thank You Warren, I was trying to make more out of it that what it is.
Simple enough..

The amount of taper has to do with what type of fighting you will use it for.
It's easier to thrust through armour than slice in a swing or hacking motion.
But since nobody wears armour today, muchless truly know how to handle a sword.
I would be more concerned with barcol & flexibility,
sooner or later if you used it you will hit it flat side on in a strike or block.
Then you could end up with a shorter sword.
