The Scrapier

Description

"A rapier handle made out of scrap metal which was obtained from things hopefully not that important"

Various blacksmithing techniques were used, as well as gas welding. Finish was done through a process called "stinkragging," which involves heating the metal and applying a rag (or in this case, an old pair of longjohns) soaked in linseed oil to it. True to its name, it SMELLS LIKE SHIT.

Blade is a 40" Hanwei, with an 8" tang. Ordered from James the Just: [link]

There would be something prettier about it if it were sensible. Why would you go and curve the bell towards the blade?
