Description
Persuasion is a small sword just made for fighting. The curved main blade is weight reduced for speed and there are two small blades, (one under the grip and one behind the pommel), for close up combat, when the main blade becomes ineffective.I designed this sword after seeing the first Lord of the Rings movie. I was inspired by the elven blades and wanted to do something "curvey", and Pursuasion was the result of that.
Here's a [link] to a picture by ~Draikou that features this sword.
Here's another [link] to a digital rendition of this sword.
For those interested. This sword is for sale for $650 Australian.

Again, thank you. I'm truly humbled that you like it. I used to do quite a lot of steel weaponry, but the glass and crystal work I am doing now is far brighter and more colorful.

Amazing sword! Im hoping to get into smithing so any tips would be a most gracious offer! (Almost as gracious as the sword itself!)

I'm glad you like my work. Over the years of my journey through many different art forms, the one thing I've learnt that I always begin with, with every project I undertake, is that everyone has their own style, and their own way of getting to the completed piece, so the best advice I could probably offer is this: Never let anyone tell you you can't do it, and always listen to the advice of those who have achieved what you want to achieve, but never stop listening to your own inner creativity, and do things the way you feel comfortable. Others may have a way of getting to the end goal that is easier, more cost effective, or even safer, but in the end, it's your journey, and only you can walk it, so stay true to your passion and never let someone else (even a mentor) squash your passion and creativity.

That is one gorgeous blade...Out of curiosity, how many of them have you made so far? And/or do you know of any winning lottery numbers I could use to justify spending the amount that blade is worth?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL ... I cannot give you the winning lottery numbers I'm afraid, but I am going to predict that you will just sigh and hang your head when you realize you won't be able to afford it.
To date I've only made two of them, so they are rare.

I'm guessing the price will be about double by the time I can afford it...but 'twill still be worth it!

I would doubt it actually. I will probably have had my head and focus on my art for so long that I would probably not realize.

Wow! That is by far, the most unique weapon I have ever seen!

Actually, there are two of them, so not entirely unique, however, I do understand you may have been refering to the design, and I thank you greatly for your comment.

How did you make this? Sorry this is the first time I opened metal working p and so far am stunned!!!

Hey there. Thanks for commenting and I'm trilled you like my work. This piece was created using the stock removal method.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Now that is just sexy. Very elegant and still dangerous. Nicely done sir. But what type of metal did you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm truly thrilled you like my creations. I always work with carbon steels, so these blades are tempered and made for combat.

So few people work in real media these days. Damn! Where is the catalog and what is the price tag? The tag line I use for such items is "Made to Play".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL. "Made to Play" is certainly true, though not many people play anymore because, as you observed, there isn't much reality anymore. The price tag for Persuasion is $650.00 AU plus postage, and as for a catalogue, I guess it's my DA gallery.

I have to say, this sword is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. If I ever were plucked into a fantasy world as I am, I'd want this blade to wield. I swear it's made for someone as skinny and as short as me. It's short, lightweight, yet lethal. I'd just need a scabbard that covered the grip. Knowing me, I'd probably cut myself on the grip.
But, this is the real world and there's no way in heck I can own that beautiful piece of art. I would either kill myself or my precious dog (and I'm not doing that. I love her a wee too much. Just a bit.) So, I think this puppy is being printed out, glued into my journal for preservation of things I love but can't have because my clothes obsession definitely gets in the way of saving up for a sword. Ha ha ha. (Besides, it would be really hard to wield a sword in a really full skirted dress, complete with petticoat, I think.)

Hi Katie. Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I'm sure you would look awesome with this sword by your side ... but ... if clothes are your true passion, go with that instead
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha ha ha. No, I'll stick with something I can't myself with. That's a wee too lethal for me.

LOL ... At least you know your limitations. May they increase, and allow you more fun as you age.
