father's sword

making a custom sword.
The blade is 1075 high carbon steel, hardened and double tempered. This particular blade was made by the stock removal process on a piece of steel that was forged into a flat plate by the steel mill. The bronze hilt components were made by the lost wax casting process and are sculptural quality silicon bronze. The sword is my version of the Father's sword from the 1982 movie Conan.
