Heeyy, you're getting better! It's been a while since I've been online, but I see you've improved during the time! Las time I can remember myself online was when I posted a comment on your "couple short sword in work"..

I prefer swords that are more forged than ground, but they look sturdy. Hope they serve you well. :)

Too bad i don't know the English steel specifications.

If the heat treatment is done well there really is no big difference between ground or forged swords. Albion swords are a good example, they never "see" a hammer during production and are of great quality.

Wow, what did you use for the hollow grinding? At least it LOOKS hollow ground from here.
