I made a couple versions from the picture at the top of the chapters of the sword in the novels. My first one was a bit blade heavy as I tried to stick to the thicker appearance of the drawing, my second attempt has a narrower blade and was much better balanced. The second has a black leather scabbard and was made for the lettering to be read with a left handed carry on the right hip. Both blades are forged from 5160 with steel twisted wire wrapped handles, brass lettering and steel guard and pommel. The tang goes all the way through the hilt is peened down.
