A bit of deer antler sanded down and stuck on the end of 4" of 1084. Aged with the 'cold blue and bleach' technique. False edge done by hand against a 12" disc sander. Poured pewter pommel and bolster.
Pre-pewter - you can see the grooves that the pewter is supposed to stick in.

Post-pewter - getting a good flow in the metal was impossible. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but the points didn't want to cooperate with me.
