Hamfelde blade types and other wide blades question
#10
thanks, tony. I look at Matt Bunker´s photos quite often but these ones show one or two swords not shown there.
Very interesting some of the details.
I am a professional bladesmith since a couple of decades so I can figure how to make most kind of shapes. But I understand that sometimes it is necessary to start again from zero. Mostly because the early middle ages, late antiquity has a huge quantity of types of swords and I don´t want to drag a more moder common sense in bladesmithing to this earlier era.
Things like edge geometry, scabbard covering, distal taper could be very different in the 3rd 4th and 5th century than those of the 10th.

Thanks again, every detail is precious.
