1stMate Matt Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 So, we have these cups sitting around that are just a bit to thick. We didnt have much use for them. I decided I would try faceting the cup just like I do a pommel to take the wieght off and this is what came of it. I think it turned out awesome and I am already preping for a spiral faceted cup. I only have one fuzzy shot of the blade. It is one of our standard diamond ground rapier blades.

PoD Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Fantastic sword. I'm definately getting more interested in owning a rapier now. One of these days I will get round to seeing just what I can get through UK customs these days in the way of swords. ...and then I discovered the wine...
