Description I made a lot of different fantasy/sci-fi style weapons in the late nineties and they were a quite poor shape in nowadays, so i take them to my workshop and use few months in last winter and spring for making them look much better.

Two shiny knifes in the bottom picture are only repolished, but i made totally new handles/guards to rest of them. (First there was just some simple steel tubes welded to the blade and now my knifes look more traditional.) Lenght of that "shortsword" with blade holes is about 51 cm.

Good choice. It's also my own favourite with that mini sword.

wolfphantom21 In reply to Astalo [2011-02-27 20:27:54 +0000 UTC]

So how long does it take to make something like that

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Astalo In reply to wolfphantom21 [2011-02-27 20:55:54 +0000 UTC]

Maybe about 2-3 days for one knife.

wolfphantom21 In reply to Astalo [2011-02-27 22:45:18 +0000 UTC]

what types of metal do you use?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Astalo In reply to wolfphantom21 [2011-02-28 00:19:07 +0000 UTC]

Mainly some parts from old broken farmyard machinery and hand tools. (I use also some spring steel parts quite often..)
For example that curvy dagger is forged from old billhook blade.

What would you charge for a blade like the one, bottom left corner, Smaller one?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Astalo In reply to InfinateDelay [2011-01-13 20:52:47 +0000 UTC]

Very hard to tell.. Weapons are more like a personal hobby and most of my commission works are more normal things like door knockers and candle holders etc.
I don't really even make business to outside my local area. (Finland)

That knife is so simple, that probably every blacksmith can make it, if you show the picture to them.

The upper right blade made me drool a little it would work wonderfully with my theif costume. Beautifully made, all of them.

The dagger with holses in it looks like something from Nausicaa, very cool.

Astalo In reply to sstheblacksmith [2009-08-16 07:20:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I like that manga/anime very much, but idea came really from Tim Powers "Dinner at Deviant's Palace" book.

I read it over 10 year ago and i remember that there was some weapons with blade holes and they make some strange humming sound when you swing the blade etc.

Hauska kuulla.. Teen luultavasti joskus myΓΆhemmin myΓΆs yhden hieman enemmΓ€n historiallisia malleja muistuttavan tikarin, missΓ€ on vastaavanlainen piikkipommeli. (Mahdollisesti joku variaatio Main Gauchesta tms.)
