The Louis Towns Sword
Walt and Jeff Emmott of Patina Metals in Houston, Texas, enlisted engineer, master welder, artist and knife-maker, Louis Towns to make this sword for Dennis. The idea, which came from Walt, was to make a sword heavy enough that it would be an impressive leverage lift. After 180 man-hours of labor, they presented him with the final product: The $15,000 Louis Towns Sword.
