6875 Swordsmithing IV firespirit44 Before making the hilt and guard, the blade needs to be sharpened to cut and stab. :: :: Use a whetstone (stone and pressure plate) and carefully hold the blade against the giant grinding stones while pedalling furiously. :: Thick on the edge, but sharp enough to cut. :: To fashion a hilt and guard, carve the design while cold, and heat it together with the pommel of the sword to firmly attach the two. :: Lastly, the blade would be polished and inscribed with decorations or place precious stones in the sockets created during forging. :: You see the end of the page there is a seal of a hammer, surrounded by a pool of lava, and above the hammer is a shining Golden Anvil.
