The Serpent in the Sword: Part 3

After the sword has been forged and hardened, not much forging is left. The video shows how I forge the upper and lower guard as well as the pommel. After the rough shape has been established, it is refined by hand and with the belt sander. A hilt with wooden core and leather wrap is made, too. Addendum: There have been several questions on how to buy a sword like this. There are quite a few very good contemporary sword smiths. Patrick Barta at
