For thousands of years this tool has helped shape the world and conquered nations\, even today it is still romanticize through literature and entertainment. Within this class\, students will follow along with the professor and will challenge students to use their skills in the construction of a historically accurate sword. Students will create every piece from start to finish with all the tools and supplies they will need at their disposal. In part I of the class\, Students will start by forming the basic shape of the sword\, followed by forging the hilt which include components such as the handle\, pommel\, and cross guard and various hardware in part II. In part III students will work on crafting the handle working with leather and woods and perhaps horn\, bone\, antler\, or ivory- then working on fitting everything. Finally at part IV the blade and components will go through various final heat treatments and acid washes before being put together as a final piece. This course is an advanced lesson involving more work due to its larger size and multiple step process.
