The sword is the tool within Geburah and one of the many of its correspondences include the god Mars. Because of the fiery energy of Mars, I constructed the sword from hardened steel, but utilized stainless steel, copper, and brass in the hilt, emulating flame itself. The pommel of the sword has oak leaves and acorns which correspond to the plant within Geburah. A unifying image of oak and flames was etched upon the blade and the handle, cut from curly maple, was colored bright red, yet another allusion to Mars.  If you are interested in obtaining a custom sword, I heartily recommend contacting Tony Swatton at the Sword and the Stone.
