I have a sword John made me some time ago (nick named "draug carak") and if you google "draug carak odin blades" you can find pictures of it on deviantart and swordforum...no longer on SFI though since my banning.
I am sending mine back in for a little R&R, new wood core scabbard...John is a great friend, if i'm in the area I know I have a place to go :)
Pretty nice. I was thinking about saving up my money and getting a costum sword by odinblades. It seems like they handle pretty well. How well do they stand up to heavy cutting? Such as tatami, etc.
Haven't done any heavy cutting with this guy, just water bottles and milk jugs.
My technique is certainly far from perfect, but this sword can sail through targets without me even feeling it. For stats:
OAL: 43"
Blade Length: 30"
COB: 3" from the hilt
It balances well and can be used without much difficulty in one hand. John does excellent work, and I'd recommend him as long as you have the patience to get in the waiting list.

sword looks cool, but dancing with it is abit childish.

Childish, but fun. At least when done with nothing breakable around (including people). And yes, John does some amazing work.

Sweet....I didn't realize any of John's swords had made it onto Youtube. Can you direct me to any photos of yours? I'm not sure I recognize it.
