The dragon guard clamps over your grip with sculpted claw detail cast in gold-toned brass. Every piece is hand-finished, so no two engravings align exactly the same.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Blade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe blade carries a black surface finish with white rune-style engraving across both flats. The engraving traces an interconnected Norse pattern with individual rune characters running along the spine side. The recurve profile creates a deep belly that curves back inward toward the tip, giving the blade its aggressive silhouette. A full-length polished bevel runs from edge to flat, clean enough to drag your thumb across and feel the line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Handle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grip section is cord-wrapped in black, tight enough to hold firm in a bare hand or a gloved one. No hotspots, no gaps. The guard is a sculpted dragon skull with claws arching forward toward the blade. The pommel at the butt continues the dragon theme with the same gold-toned brass casting. Both fittings are fixed, solid, and contribute meaningfully to the forward weight bias.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Build\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe construction is fixed blade, which matters for a piece this heavy and this visually prominent. Fixed blades carry no mechanical weakness at the pivot. The weight sits noticeably toward the blade, which gives a collector knife its presence when drawn or displayed.
