My woodworking skills leveled up today. This massive thing will eventually measure 1.8 metres in length with 600 cm of blade.
It is assembled in the traditional manor.

Two separate swords. The first a Japanese naginata. A traditional pole arm. This was forged from a large round bar of K600 steel which has excellent toughness.
The second blade is a forging between myself and a friend learning to smith. It's a European bastard sword forged from an ancient old file. This blade will end up with a hamon running down the spine of it.
