Hi Yves,

This kind of blade is possible for me. Check out the early langsax I made for Jef as a reference. I intend starting work on a single edged sword, but that one has a early type tang. No commission job, just for fun, as I made a second blank when doing the one for Jef. Dimensions of the blade are similar to his. I could do a grip like this, though. Attaching an example of a knife from Port, about same era. Suggest seasoned oak handle plates. Mind you, price will not be as much as 800 dollars :-) .
