Fun project, it's actually a semi-usable weapon instead of the obnoxious monstrosities I usually make.

Yessir. It is Hardox AR450 (high carbon steel) for the blade and the rest is mild steel (A36, A513 and 1018). Hickory handle, blue-dyed leather handwrap.

I made a detailed build video if anyone is curious how something like this is constructed and to optimize functionality in what is basically an art piece.
