You probably already know the motto and the inscription are associated with Ferdinand and Isabella. The original was used for formal ceremonies including the knighting of Christopher Columbus.A friend recently acquired this sword and is looking for a place to have it appraised, any help?
It’s a 15th century Spanish knighting sword.
Color wrapping?
It has a Shirasaya pictured here
Wow that is a crap load of loot for a 3.6 inch blade. Good looking knife
That looks pricey...
Nice, how thick is the blade?
Grimsmo Norseman. Now need to hide it from my wife before she starts asking questions.
Sweet baby jesus, I just googled that thing. Is the blade made of adamantium?
You'd think so eh? Lots of Hype. Easily worth $500, maybe more. $900+, not so sure, but what do I know?
So the MSRP is not the street price? Looking at the photos, is it a laminate steel, or just how they fashioned the blade?
Q
Yes, that's the street price. Unless you find one in stock somewhere you can get on a lottery system from Grimsmo directly. These are not discounted anywhere as it seems demand is greater than supply.
Grimsmo has a Youtube channel which is pretty interesting. They make everything in house, including the bearings. They have 2 models, the Norseman and the Rask AFAIK.
Not laminate, those lines are CNC'd in.

Did she find it? That looks exactly like the one that is up for sale on BladeForms!
Nice piece though, I've been watching John since his early YouTube days and KMT series. Truly a 'started a company in my garage' effort with a product to be extremely proud of.
