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]
