“Mountain Shadow” is a sword that is flying with me to Atlanta this morning for the Arts in Metal Show in June 2026.
It is a Nepalese cavalry saber, featuring a 33” multi-radius compound-hollow-ground blade (including a 20” sharpened back edge) in 147,600 layer damascus steel and a 6” hilt in blued steel and claro walnut with silver accents. Total length: 39”, weight: ~1260g (~2.75lbs).
If you are interested, and even have a vision of what you are looking for in the design on your chef’s knife or collector’s blade, fill out a contact form at JonasBlade.com to reach me. Commissions do start around $1,000.

Zack Jonas was born and raised in Massachusetts in the 1980’s and is still a New Englander today. With his growing love for art over the years, he took an introductory bladesmithing class at MASSart. It was there that he learned one of his most valuable lessons, which is that everyone has some insight worth learning. Today, he is a full-time bladesmith and feels incredibly fortunate to have found his calling.
