So I've been wanting to make a sword for the last two years, and once summer vacay hit me I knew it was time to act!
So I went to Low's and bought an angle bar, rebuilt a forge I had tinkered with last year, and started beating that sexy red-hot steel.
The result was a rather rough, but historically accurate, short broadsword. However after having some trouble with a traditional crosspiece (and lacking a powerful welding torch), I decided to veer into cosplay territory. It's still a fully functioning broadsword (you could take it into battle), but it's got a bit of a modern touch.
This is where Destiny comes in:
First off, I need a name for it. Weapons in Destiny seem to have witty one-liners or intimidating nicknames.
Second, I can still modify it a lot, so is there anything I should do to it to make it more space-ish?
(BTW the handle it just some green military nylon for now, I have plans for that)
The whole thing (the stick is a meter long): [url]http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w489/rabidshrew8u/Sword/null_zpsa11d19b2.jpg[/url]

Progo.
UPDATE! This got bumped, so have a look at the finished deal :)

Wow man! "Plan B" is looking pretty badass! Nice work!

A sword version of those, and Blood gulch for the name.

Deadly meccano. I think a tassel of some sort would go well on the end of the handle.

The key to your death. Rage taken form. Danger; Pointy. Dads Butter Knife. My VIP pass. If It's Red You're Dead. Mightier Then Paper. (Related to the Pen is mightier, bit.) Add...uh. Not sure really. :c My only thought would be to make it more smooth and "uniform" for a more modern/future look.

Edited by Master of Blood: 11/6/2013 5:28:26 AMDon't know if you know but the edited photo links don't work. If you could fix that, I'd appreciate it, as I'd like to see the finished product.

You could call it "Out of Ammo" or, maybe "Plan B".

Edited by Ali Qaiser: 6/18/2013 1:44:21 PMMy Ideas... 1) Excalibur. 2) Azu'ra. 3) The 7th. 4) Tizorna If I was to consider a name from these, I would go for (2). That's just my opinion. Hope I helped.

Bring'n a Sword to a Gunfight Instrument of Destiny I Would Have Been Your Sword Infinite Ammo Give me a Reason... Joyeuse Mjolnir Throwback For the design try putting the Destiny emblem into the guard inscribe "Be Brave" onto the blade.

I've got it! Name it: "A Point in the Right Direction" You're welcome.
-
I'd call it "Heated Discussion" I'd get some sort of cloth wrapping and weave it around the hilt, cross guard, and the base of the blade. Would look cool if you ask me.

Make a futurist Joyeuse (and send it to me).

You should make it more like the Fallen electrical sword. Take it outside during a storm and have it struck by lightning. You should be able to harness the lightning and contain it safely. It'll be awesome.

Not sure on how to make it more aesthetically similar to Destiny at the moment, but I can suggest a name: "Forget the Bayonet..."
-
I'd call it: "Bring Me Closer"
