The Story
This sword has very unconventional proportions, but there is a very important reason why.
This sword was commissioned by a young lady who proposed to her boyfriend with it. Needless to say, they are engaged now. The reason the blade is so short in comparison to the hilt is because of what each number represents. The 9" hilt represents September, which is the 9th month and the 29" blade represents the 29th day. September 29th was when they went on their first date.
Let's hope this becomes a new trend.
