The flame blade, or Flamberge is a cross culture an undulating blade or wavy blade resembling a flame. Often confused with the Kris, a Indonesia style with ether a straight blade or curve. It has other elements to it, magic, pistol grip style handle. I find it very interesting to forge. Its a process of preforming the blade, as if a dagger, and then hammering, swagging in the waves. Too thin and the blade bends over.
Flamberge blades provide a few advantages:
1: they’re bad ass
2: the blade does far greater damage in a thrust
3: In slashing the blade presents multiple curves as if a serrated blade.
4: it can be used to catch a blade with a wide guard.
This one is handled with Bloodwood and brass pins, guard. Handle surrounds the hidden tang. High carbon forged 1095
