Square Enix, the makers of the 'Final Fantasy' game asked me to make a sword from the upcoming XVI release to be displayed in the Tower of London Armouries - how cool is that!?!

Matt Easton from Schola Gladiatoria and I get together sometimes to talk about weird weapons and this is certainly one of those, so I wrapped it up and handed it over for the big reveal. Then we talk about it seriously; how it was made, historical parallels and whatever else that comes to mind.
