It’s been a busy few months. I finally found time away from customers knives to finish a project I started over a year ago. A dainty little late 17th century English hunting sword. Blade length 25 1/4”, overall length 30”, POB 5 3/8”, weight 496g. Naturally dark stag grip. Fire blued fittings.

That's interesting. I knew the Germans had "hunting" swords as well as hunting Lance's for finishing off stags "brought to bay" by the hounds.
I did not know the English did as well.

The English, French and Germans had them, the history of these spans from the 15th century to the 19th century. I’ve seen a few examples of American swords that fall within this category as well.

Excellent work, I love to see people’s skilled interpretations of hunting swords.
