The Fulham is for board member James B. The blade has been forged from a piece of antique bar stock. I think it was part of a horse drawn mower. The hilt is made from American black walnut, and ash.
The 2nd is my own Pompei pattern thats been re-ground, and rehilted from an Indian import. Usually I dont give these much thought, but the blade proved to be of good quality steel with a nice strong tang.
I reshaped the blade entirely it had the typical V found at the hilt. I removed about 1/3 the size from the crossguard, and some from the pommel. The grip is made from American curly maple.
I finished these up this morning, and thought I would share them with you.
I am open to any suggestions.
