Crusader Excalibur

The concept for this sword is a two handed crusader sword with an Excaliburish pommel and an Isuldurish blade. It is a very large sword and has a lot of distal taper to keep the handling reasonable.

The pommel and cross are bronze. The pommel is hot peened to the tang with a small peen block and both the pommel and guard are banzaipeened to the tang. The grip is a wood core with a cotton cord wrap and risers with a leather over-wrap. The blade is hardened and tempered high carbon steel.

I’ve made a few different versions of this sword, shrinking the blade down a bit and increasing the pommel diameter in the others.
