Hi all, I am planning to make a one handed sword. I have a 900cm circular saw blade approx 5 ml thick for the steel. I was wondering if anyone might know what kind of one handed swords i could make with the dimensional specifications used around the 15th century.

Two ways of doing it.

1: Do some research, (net, books, whatever)

2 Talk to your own locals (chances are you got the CS blade off Fungus anyway).

3: (You knew it wasn't ever gonna be that simple)
DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT YOU LIKE NOT WE THINK YOU SHOULD USE.

also if you intend to use for combat - look up the regs on blade width, tip size and all that jazz.

If you poke me with a razor blade I will hurt you
