My most beautiful piece of work if my opinion counts. I made it last year and i thought i should add it to my gallery. Blade and handguard have some hacks from tournaments and training. Its designed to be replica of longswords used in scandinavian region at Viking Age with small difference - the blade edge is 2mm wide so that it could be used for reenactment purposes. Silver inlay on handguard and pommel took for ages... and my fingers probably hate me lots of hammer and chisel work. On the blade are two poems from Elder Edda whith i think suitable for a tool of destruction. Scabbard is made from veg tanned leather and fittings are from bronze - also lots of chiselwork. Im not very happy with the picture and composition but i hope i can use professional photographer one day .

Sword is an absolutely breathtaking example of *Ugrik's skills and talent in metalwork. Although the fullview is rather huge, I recommend to take a closer look and be amazed by all details - the silver inlays, the poem and all chiselwrok. (Featured by `Myana)
my oh my....VERY nice work! i especially love the knotwork design you have used on the fittings, one you designed yourself? the blade poem, is it acid etched? would be nice to hear it too! did you forge the blade or gring the profile? what steel did you choose to use for the blade, guard and pomell? hehe, im drilling for information here! excellent work!

Heh - i try to answer at least few of your questions - i hope you dont mind my english. The fitting in lower end of the scabbard is designed from real archeological finding with small differences, hiltside fitting is made to match other end. You are correct about the poem... Blade is not forged to be shure theres no flavs - i have heard the sound of a breaking blade during combat and i dont want it to be mine oneday - it really sounds like deathbell . I think grinding is correct word but im not certain. Steel should be G65 springsteel if i remember.

Ah, the Valknot. Hail ye Ošin!
The workmanship on the blade is pure brilliance and I especially like it in the design.
