This is the last of my old art metals projects.
Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to make this project out of good steel so I just used a large piece of C-channel I found on the scrap pile. The general shape of the blade was plasma cut, then from there on most of the work was done with an angle grinder. The handle was made from separate pieces of steel plate which I cut into various shapes, plug welded to the tang, and then filled in with brass.
Total length was about 18 inches.

An electrical arc is created between the cutting tip and the material, then compressed air is blown through the tip pushing the molten metal under the arc out the back side of the material.
