art-of-swords: Handmade Swords - Telpënár - the Silver Fire Maker: David DelaGardelle of Cedarlore Forge OAL: 40” Blade Length: 30” Blade Width: 1 and 3/4” Balance Point: Exactly 2” from Guard Steel: 1075 L6 Grip and Scabbard wood: Ebonized Walnut Guard Pommel and Scabbard Chape: Antiqued & Carved Steel Grip Rings and Scabbard Bridge/Bead: Cast Silver Telpënár, literal meaning “Silver Fire” in Tolkien’s “Quenya” language, is a High-Elven leaf-bladed longsword crafted by David DelaGardelle. He forged and ground the blade out of a piece of “feather” pattern-welded steel that came from my friends at HHH Knives, who are talented smiths who produce near mythic-looking “damascus” patterns in steel.
