Custom Daab Project

A little while ago I commissioned Cozun to reproduce a magnificent Daab that was featured in the History of Steel Catalogue.

Here is a link to the original sword (I hope Mark doesn't mind me linking)

After some discussions with Serge (thanks mate!) we decided on materials. I opted for silver rather than silver plate and we chose the black wood called Chin Chan rather than a black lacquer.

And also deciding on using Namphee steel for the blade. I believe that the blade will not have the famous blue appearance as from my understanding this is simply a cosmetic blueing made via flame. However the blade will obviously have the characteristics of this rare metal.

Serge was kind enough to send me some pics from the silversmith in action on my project.

1. Silversmith at work

2. Faak casing - I just love that word!

stay tuned

Cheers

Jason
