Nice work man, I am digging that sword... It appears from the photos, that the handle is a one piece of wood done on a lathe? I do stock removal as well as forging... when it comes to marks in the metal, I tend to try and get out as many as I can without compromising the blades integrity.... On most of the knives that I have pictured, I used a piece of old stainless steel from the 50's and of course it has marks and dings in the steel that I could not get out... but it really gives the knives character and when you go with natural handles, it sort of gives the knives an old timey feel to them... I really like your design on that last knife alot!!!
