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.
