Aluminum Single Hand Sword 1
Aluminum Single Hand Sword 1
**NOTE** The original wire grip on this sword broke and needed to be replaced...the first picture shows the redone grip.
An aluminum bladed single hander with an S-curve guard, wheel pommel and spiral carved wire wrapped grip. The pommel is secured with a recessed 1/4”-28 allen nut. The grip is poplar wrapped with steel and brass wire. Very comfy in the hand. For more information on this attachment method, CLICK HERE.
Because the pommel is relatively small and the blade is un-fullered, this sword handles more like a steel sword of similar proportions. Its light and quick, but with more blade presence than some of my aluminum swords. The PoB is 3.75” above the guard. There is a small gouge in the surface of the blade just above the guard that was from the original piece of aluminum I used to make the sword. Its purely a cosmetic flaw, but its there. See the pictures for a closeup.
Blade: 31”
Total Length: 37”
