The 13.5" SWORD was made by Rick Schuchmann (Scar Knives) for me some years ago. The #18 Concept Sword was based off of a TRUE Randall Made "Roman Short Sword" that TOM CLINTON DID loan Rick/me to use to make the sword.
I had three Swords made over the years. All three were based on actual Randal Made Sword dimensions. A Leather Handle Randall Roman Short Sword sold for over $20,000 a few years ago. The Model #18 version of the sword was inspired by a man I knew in S.E. Asia (who happened to have the moniker "The Sword").
