Rather than make a flamberge-style blade, I thought it would be interesting to try a symmetrical serrated edge.
I worked on the blade, and put some rather place-holdery hilt assembly there so I could get a sense of how it looks.


I kinda dig the crossguard on this left-most sword:

Might do something similar. Flanged rings, a few curls here and there. Might look good. I will continue to experiment.

Excited to see where you go with the hilt, the design on the reference you added looks really nice without going too over the top.
