Thanks Arsheesh!

A little progress. The website I mentioned before is here:

http://www.arscives.com/historysteel...nes.swords.htm

and there were almost too many cool ideas. In this iteration I am trying out a combination of two of the Katipunan examples. I want to change the symbols on the blade to a more exotic whirly type of inlay, but I need to figure out how that will look before I spend too much time making doodles. I also need to work the upper left image into the sword somewhere, since now there is a fist on the end of the pommel!

I also cleaned up the diagram a bit for now, but the '0's need to change, probably to just filled in circles or something.

I made an more circle-themed attempt at the title/border area, but I think I need to let the idea evolve a little more.
