Writing - Kalista 6/?
The sword was something I struggled with for a while b/c I wanted something that was equal parts symbolic and pragmatic. The idea being that this weapon - this tool - would be used so often the blade would chip, bend, and dull to the point it would need reforging almost constantly. So, I opted to have the 'sword' as one piece, and the blade riveted to the ricasso's iron brackets, such that the rivets could be chiseled off and the blade replaced like a disposable razor.
