Haha, wow, finally. It's finished. Officially the largest, heaviest, and arguably most dangerous weapon I've ever made.
It feels like it took forever, but that's at least partially because it was on the back burner, so to speak. It wasn't an urgent project, so the active ones for current clients always came first, and I worked on it in my spare time....but it did take a lot of time. I enjoyed working on it...but I admit, I'm glad it's finished. It frees up a lot of time that I can spend doing other things.
Ah, Sir Tsuge, I do hope you don't mind... When I had your lovely sword, I took measurements of its size and weight - mostly to make sure that I returned it without altering it in any way except for the repairs. I then I took the liberty of using those measurements and make a sword that matched them. Not exactly a replica or duplicate of any kind, especially because I know that swords with sentimental value and importance like yours can never really be replaced, but... Well. I wanted to have a proper sword to loan you if you have to bring yours to me again. The zweihander from before was close, but still smaller and lighter, and I didn't like having to loan you a lesser sword.
The one I just finished will, I hope, feel more comfortable in your hands, since it's length, width, shape, and weight are the ones you're used to.
