I built a new sword today
I was going for "Glamdring blue" on the grip. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
Re: I built a new sword today
Looks pretty cool. What'd you use for material?
Re: I built a new sword today
It has a hanwei tinker longsword blade, and a hilt set from LG martial arts. The grip is wood, wrapped in cord, wrapped in leather that I did myself.Gærfast wrote:Looks pretty cool. What'd you use for material?

Re: I built a new sword today
That is lovely. Glamdring Blue is spot-on.
Re: I built a new sword today
I've been contiplating that same blade, but the images in KoA are a bit grainy. Did you keep the Tinker threaded tang or peen it?
Re: I built a new sword today
I used the same pommel nut system as the tinkers. I want to be able to swap out the blunt and sharp blades. I actually cut about 3" off of the end of the tang and re-threaded it to make it more of a hand & a half.

Great work!
