More proof:

It's looking amazing so far. When it's done, it should look like the weapon so many of your favorite Nazaniin used in the books (Code! Kali! Nash!). I'm personally loving the way it's coming together.
If you haven't followed Kevin on Instagram, you definitely should--especially if you're interested in more amazing blacksmithing projects! @kevinlnielsen.bladesmith :-D 
🗡️👹 I'll keep you posted on the sword's progress, but for now I'll leave you with this video:
