ABANDONED. Evil wizard forges sword hero forges hilt

[Aeon]

I read this book series back in the early 90s and have been trying to find it for years. It was a fantasy series maybe a trilogy but not sure. In the first novel there was an evil wizard/warlock who forged a sword of power and had the young man who became the hero forge the hilt. Then the hero stole the sword. In the second novel in the series the hero creates a gauntlet with a gem in the palm that can absorb, amplify, and project anything directed at it. Gauntlet was meant to counter the sword I think.

Could it be Forging the Darksword?

No, I have the Darksword Trilogy and re-read it just recently to check. But thanks for the help.

Could it be one of Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker books? I haven't read them but they are fantasy and some of the covers show a guy forging things.

Could it be the Book of Swords series?

The First Book of Swords

Sounds like Servant of the Shard

Hero is Artemis Entrerir

[Aeon]

Unfortunately it is neither the Book of Swords series or Servant of the Shard, I have own both of those series and have read them many times. But thanks for the help, I am gonna keep looking.
