La Tene I hilt ideas

[dave74]

About as good as this one is going to get,other than the final polish etc. debating on if I should sharpen the blade(muh easier to do before it's all peened together) or not...To bad I don't have a buyer,they could just tell me what they wanted HA

Post it for sale on Kelticos, it might go faster there...

Think I will after it's finished. I'm just going to bring the edge to *butter knife* sharp. It will make it easy enough to go to sharp latter if needed.

Near-sharp isn't that bad (that is, dull enough that it won't cut you unless you're really trying to cut yourself). That way it looks sharp, but won't take a slab of meat off when you try and and pull it out of the scabbard.

It's about O'Charley's steak knife sharp.

Well,I've made a La Tene sword (I think) :-D

Looks great! A little carving goes a long way.

Thank you,another coat of linseed oil and,then a nice buff of the hilt and,I think it will be pretty nice myself.
