Introduction and sword sneak peek

Hi, thank you for the interest and the good questions. I hope I havent rocked the boat by posting a pic of new work. I thought it may be of interest as it draws heavily from historicaL pieces.

I wish I could own historical pieces but as of yet they are out of my budget. I generally gather my information from books (ian pierce, oakeshott etc.) internet acess to photos of museum and collectors pieces and from other bladesmiths and enthusiasts who have made detailed records of actual swords.

As far as historical discussion is concerned feel free to ask any questions you like. I am by no means an authority on the subject but I am willing to share any bladesmithing information as it pertains to swords that I have.

Cheers Jeff
