Thracian sword reconstruction Vindonissa Museum

[Robert]

The blade has its first grind. From here I can start to take it down to the profile of the origonal blade. It will have a wicked cutting edge.
  
So it is going well so far. If you have any questions please ask away   
Total length; 55.3cm

He Tony, nice blade! But I believe there is something wrong with your reconstruction. Notice how the blade in the picture of the original is wider near the tip then near the handle. And that is not due to corrosion. Yours has a perfectly straight back and a even width. It can be easily fixed to conform to the original, but it does need a visit to a blacksmith shop to correct the shape IMHO. That is, if you have not ground the spine down yet .....
