I recently made a hand and half sword. It has a walnut crotch handle, forged furniture, and an antiques 5160 blade. It was a fun project.

I also made a video of the forging of this blade for my newly created YouTube channel:

How did I miss this?

Nice looking sword Allen. Good little video too. How did you do the blade finish?

Thanks. I dabbed on cold blue then sprayed with bleach. The two chemicals react and you can repeat till the desired finish is achieved.

By the way, I made a video of the forging of this blade: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lCT793ndnQg
