Description

i sharpened my sword myself, i also made the sword myself too. it was a school project and we was suposed to make whatever we wanted(at school) but since i was so determined and wanted to make a sword i made it home, it wasn't actually by the rules so it dragged down my grade. i fnot i would get highest score my teacher told me.
the sword is sharp and dangerous, and i always keep it sheated, but it's looking good i think.
the blade is made of acid protected steel, (my dad got it from a friend from his old job) and the handle is made of cheap wood. it's heavy as hell, so i currently call it "blade crusher" due to it's immense weight and hard metal. it's a so called "bastard sword", a two handed short sword with a little more lenght and weight than normal short sword. it's not as heavy as large 2 handed and therefor give more precision. it's based at a sword made for old viking warlords.

It is known that vikings only used francescas and plain longswords, never bastard or greatswords,
so much less in this fashion, of an exaggeratingly wide crossguard and long handle. So I beg of you, since I am overwhelmingly charmed by history, name your source and prototype.
