Here are some good rules for sizing your Mek'leth
Length:
Measure from the finger tips to the elbow along the underside on the wielding arm. Add 4 inches (10.16 cm) to that measurement. [See figure 2, Dimension A.]
Width:
Lay your wielding hand on a flat surface. Extend your fingers comfortably away from each other as far as cofort allows. Measure from the outside edge of the tip of the pinkie finger to the outside edge of the tip of your thumb. This will yield the width from the "SeH" to the "Quch". [See Figure 2, Dimension B, and Figure 3, "The Anatomy of a Mek'leth"]
Curvature:
This Varies depending on personal taste. Remember to curve the weapon forward along the "DeS".
Thickness:
This varies depending on the material used, anywhere from 1/8ths inch ( 3.175 mm) to 3/8ths inch (9.525 mm)
Notes:
Weapons will vary from artist to artist. Each armorer has his own style and technique. Shop around and find one that shares your preferences if you do not intend to construct your own.
