Ephrael Stern Full Tutorial

If you're interested the 'blood groove' thing is a myth (although a very old one, rather than the more usual modern internet myth). The groove is actually called a fuller (I think named after the tool used to shape it), and its purpose is to lighten the blade without significantly weakening it. Swords are heavy, and having one that's a 1/4 lighter means you can swing it for a lot longer before you collapse from exhaustion :) Oh, and obviously, awesome tutorial. I found the brush work on this one particularly interesting.
