smallsword

This smallsword is another example of the joint efforts of Peter and Matt. Peter made the damascus for the entire piece, Matt made the handle and handle fittings, and Peter made the blade, scabbard and scabbard fittings. All fittings are either damascus or sterling silver, and in the case of the scabbard throat, a combination of both. The handle is buffalo horn with a silver wire accent, the "kidney" guard is multi-bar twist endgrain, and the pommel is a tight reverse twist that Matt then turned and polished to a nicely refined shape. The blade is a combination of L6 tool steel and 1095 carbon steel in a twist pattern, and the damascus "stone" set in the scabbard throat is a much finer version of the same damascus
