Edit size added.
Well its done, 68hours of work and ive finished my sword.
Its weighs in at about 10kg, and comes in at 62ichs
I may have a buyer lined up already, but ill see how it goes.
I used liquid Chrome on the bladed edges and a flat black, dusted with gun metal fleck, for the centre. Its a sight to see in the sun light, it refelcts perfectly. I spent a total of 60hours with hand tools, carving and sanding it to the right smoothness and depth. Thier are a few issues with it as the knots in the woods were like steel, so i had to take a larger chunk out of one part of the pattern. The painting i spent about 7-8hours on so my back is killin me lol.
I have no fingerprints now. My shoulder and finger dexterity + endurance are through the roof so thats a upside.
I have finished the mock up of Zabimaru, and full scale will begin soon. I dont give myself a chance to breath lol.
Anyway ive been working since 9:00 in the mouring on this so i think ill go get something to eat, its 2ish now, so.
Forgot to mention the smaller katana, its 31ich's with a full metal coat, about 28 hours work on it.
