Three Ring Broadsword

Hm, what is the purpose of the rings?

Well, one functions as a pommel and the other two as guards... but mostly because I like the look...

I had a request for a custom light saber with an Asian theme. I tried to empathize the Chinese coin motif with the pommel and guard.

Wow it's cool, and it's distinct but not overly gaudy. One thing though, where is the guard and pommel in the bottom pic? Thank you very much!

If you are looking for a function for DnD terms, maybe as recetacles for ioun stones or crystals (yeah, I know, 1 crystal per weapon, but this could be the exception). Just a thought, but I do like the look of the sword. When I saw the name I was thinking of the Chinese Nine-Ring Broadswords where they have a series of nine rings attached along the back of the blade.

The square blocks with the small "dots" are the pommel and guard in a side view. The grip is oval shaped in cross-section... sorry about the confusion...

Here is the image I used as inspiration...

Oh... I see now. Cool.

Heh, yeah, like that. I love the way Chinese weaponry looks. Something the style of the weapons and way they are used is distinctly beautiful when compared with many of the other weapons and techniques around the world. And this is coming from a person who trained in the Japanese martial arts (though I do love the kamas over most other weapons, something simple, yet inherently vicious and deadly about a sickle).
