Well, That might be a bit big. And REALLY heavy. I'm not sure if i could wield that effectively.

I do like the Khopesh. It's my favorite sword, but I'm not sure how to make it, and neither is the guy helping me. Same with Damascus steel. that takes real skill, and i'm just starting as a hobby.

As for info, I met someone who is willing to help me make one, but i have to pay for the metal. (Another reason the longsword might not work.)  I prefer shorter swords, that i can weild with one hand so I'm able to dual weild. I'm thinking about having a shield, but i would have to learn a different style to do so. My budget is around 400-600. with 600 being the amount i have set aside for this project. The guy is just kind of guiding me, and will only step in if i mess up, or need help. Something with a curved blade
