Just picked up my first antique. A french model 1866 chassepot bayonet with a number matching scabbard. It might not be that special but have to start somewhere and I like the yataghan blade shape and the fact it's huge for a bayonet with a 57cm long blade3yr ⋅ Jarnskeggr ⋅ r/SWORDS
Started with the idea of making a long French dagger but changed my mind and going with a short riding sword instead4yr ⋅ Jarnskeggr ⋅ r/Bladesmith

A small left handed kiridashi I made to use in the workshop. Differentially hardened and etched in vinegar acid5yr ⋅ Jarnskeggr ⋅ r/Bladesmith
Swords come in different sizes. The riding sword I'm working on compared to a bastard sword I made a while ago. One is much more practical to carry every day than the other4yr ⋅ Jarnskeggr ⋅ r/Bladesmith
