Description

This sword has sat on my bench almost a year now, i finally got around to finishing it!

dimensions  48"x 2" from tip to hammer

So i was trying to create a sword version of the saxon knife. Turns out i am not the first, and there are plenty of better designs out there then mine, so i got a little despondent. This probably would have joined my collection of never to be finished projects, except i had a shoot in which this would have been great, so i sucked it up an finished it

Materials:
 Aluminum plate (not sure what alloy or temperage)
 Aluminum rivets (hand made)
 Oak handle

Process:
1) cut aluminum blank
2) ground blade
3) engraved name
4) cut and shaped handle
5) stained handle 
6) polished pieces
7) riveted together

So we ended up using this as a stunt sword in combat. It was against a steel sword, they were using half strength swings for an hour and it only had minor dings in the blade, most were removed with sandpaper.

Beautiful work. Do the runes mean anything in particular?
