I put all these pictures of this blade by Randal Graham up on some other forums and thought I'd take the opportunity to show ya'll as well. Eye candy for sword lovers..."sword porn" as it were.

Blade of W1 steel forged and heat treated to perfection by Randal Graham in a mount of 1018 mild steel, wood, paracord, aluminum bronze, copper, and elctrolytic iron by me.

I also did the polish and made all of the hardware from scratch. I made and finished the saya (scabbard)....5 pieces of poplar wood finished with custom tinted table top epoxy.

Thanks for looking. I'm rather proud of the accomplishment and would appreciate any comments you other sword lovers have about the piece, good, bad, or otherwise.
