Hello Folks.
I hope you are all well! It's been so long since I have posted, but there is a reason for that! I started making my latest swords in September 2021. They've been a monstrous build!! I have shared the journey and documented how I achieved most of the stages of the build at my Patreon channel . At my Channel I try to give insight and tips for anyone who'd like to learn about how I make my swords and may be undertaking their own sword craft at whatever stage in their journey they may be. I try to keep the videos reasonably concise and relevant. There are multiple tiers available with various offers and benefits.

And finally, after this year long journey, may I introduce:
L'Ombre de Son Maître (His Master's Shadow)
My Webpage with 3 x Galleries and full Specification can be found at: www.fableblades.com/L'Ombre%20…

There is about 50 photos between those galleries, and I can't post them all here, so please enjoy these teaser images
Credit to Jeffrey Robinson for crafting the two Dogs for the Beast's sword. All other sculptural work is by myself. The parts are all stock removed, hand carved directly into steel and bronze.

Beasts lie in peaceful rest on the banks of a stream, sheltered by the gentle willow which bends to will of the wind, the water's slow destruction of a rock in it's path; imperceptible yet inevitable.

They await their Masters' waking from his nightmare, that he may rejoin them in the flow of life.

"The most rigid structures, the most impervious to change, will collapse first." ∼Eckhart Tolle

“Those who flow as life flows need no other force.” ∼Lao Tzu

“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.” ∼Lao Tzu
