Artist's Comments

Persuasion is a small sword just made for fighting. The curved main blade is weight reduced for speed and there are two small blades, (one under the grip and one behind the pommel), for close up combat, when the main blade becomes ineffective.

I designed this sword after seeing the first Lord of the Rings movie. I was inspired by the elven blades and wanted to do something "curvey", and Pursuasion was the result of that.

Here's a [link] to a picture by ~Draikou that features this sword.

Here's another [link] to a digital rendition of this sword.

For those interested. This sword is for sale for $650 Australian.

PURSUASION by ~BLOODSTORME The gentle curves of this blade make for a sinister weapon. Very well crafted, beautiful art sword. (Suggested by ~soundinnovation and Featured by `dedredhed)

Wow! Would ya look at that!? --> [link]

Dude ... I only just posted that. Damn you are fast off the mark ...

It's actually very light, and very fast.

P.S - "I LOVE CURVES" something very feminine and sexy about curves, but in a sword like pursuasion, they are still masculine ... Go figure ...

Wow, you MADE that? That is beyond phenominal!

It is absolutely gorgeous, the curves and empty space fit perfectly.
:iconbloodstorme:
Ahhhh ... yup. I sure did ...

Wasn't that difficult really. It's just a flat bit of steel, cut, ground and shaped, then furnace hardened, de-scaled, sanded, polished and overlaid with a hard wood grip. Only took me a few days ...

Just did, actually. Makes me wish I had money. Woe is the life of a poor university student. >xX<

Woe is the life of a underpaid office clerk, as well. I know what you mean, but we are just the modern peasants.
