Description: Mastersmith JD Smith has an artistic vision to his work that is exceptional -- a primitive sense of power is combined with meticulous precision.
Sentinel's blade measures 19 3/4 in and is forged from six composite Damascus bars. Two core bars are an interrupted twist pattern and are surrounded by bars of 200 layer straight grain Damascus. The edge bards are firestorm pattern Damascus.
The 200 layer random pattern Guard is surrounded by spacers sculpted from bronze, copper. The guard is forged from JD's mokume gane (forged from copper and nickel silver). The handle is forged from sculpted hardwood that JD was given as a gift, but unfortunately does not know the type of wood. The sculpting results in a sure, comfortable grip.
A masterpiece.
