Description: The GBA tournament needs a prize, and so Rusty hired to build it. Aside from its beskar construction, the blade is a fairly standard longsword, albeit an exquisitely made one. The sword was forged from a billet of beskar made in the damascus style, created by layering pieces of steel and welding them into a solid block. The block is then folded a few times, creating beautiful, entrancing patterns in the steel. After construction, the blade was acid etched to bring out the pattern.
The beskar construction meant that the blade was slightly heavier than was normal for a blade of this size, but it was exquisitely balanced to make up for it. It's important to note that it is no replacement for a lightsaber. It doesn't handle like one, that's for damn sure. Though the winner might already be a skilled swordsman, they'll still have to train to master their prize.
