Sabre Sword

48th day of 2016. 10th day of Chinese New Year.

Continuing from the swords design. Sabre is the eldest of the three brothers, he is a very practical person and like metal works that demonstrate simplicity yet enough detail of masculine.

Sword to him is a weapon, so it should be right for his job as a knight, to fight. The metal have to be sturdy, hilt should be easy to hold. The curve thick sabre blade is quite thick in proportion to the cross guard and hilt. So I extended some metal piece above to hold the grip and blade together.

The material of choice would be very hard wearing and sharp dark grey metal, copper or bronze guard and leather for grip.
