progress pics, starting with a horn carved grip and wooden end pieces. These wooden pieces then had a formed metal shell made around them

The scabbard will probably be either the Feltwell one, or the Liebenau.

The cross section of the sword is a single wide fuller, after this drawing from Miks. The blade is a tad thin, so no tree chopping. However I'd never want to do that to such a beautiful blade.
