Swords are my main focus right now.  I like working on swords because  they are more complicated than knives.  We don't give too much thought to the balance and weighting of knives, but for swords this is key.  Swords need to be carefully designed so they facilitate the kinds of movements used in the fighting style they are made for.  They have to be as fast and as intuitive to use as possible, while still maintaining the strength and mass to do their job without fail.  It's a delicate balance, one that I enjoy chasing.
