Swords

oh... *sniffle* How bout a scimitar?

[Envin]

I want a guillotine!

[Ilmare]

I have one at work. Just a small one for rats and mice but nicely sharp. Will that work, too?

[Morsereg Dîndaedel]

I still say I want my morning star and morgul-blade lol.

[Ilmare]

Come and take your morning star out, but there are no morgul blades. Just one pretty klingon like thing and a lot of japanese swords, too.

[Morsereg Dîndaedel]

Ooooh japanese swords, maybe I'll go for that.

Any scythes?

[vanya]

The shop is quite small. Maybe there is some stuff in the closet, can't say.

[Ilmare]

Okay, THAT is a beauty I bought for 120 NZ$ (round about 60 US $) in "Yak and Yeti" in the George Street(with a small cubboard full of very different nice daggers, wooden sticks - with hidden knife- and some other swords and sabers). Not the shop with the morning star and the crossbows , that all were just dumb repliques. This two handed saber comes from Nepal, is a little weorn, but still SHARP! LOL




It is > 3' long with a woodcore hilt (with plumbum plates for the weightening), leatherwrapped and its balance point is one hand below the hilt (as usual for two handed sabers, like I have heard). The hilt is comfortable shaped and gives good grip and enough space for two hands. The sheath is made of leather wrapped wood. ;D

And the best of all! ITS MINE!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Hey, that's pretty sweet - really nice! And not too expensive either, it sounds. So it handles pretty well? Not too much wieght in the blade?

If I ever buy a oriental blade, this is the one that I want.

[vanya]

Cool one.

Indeed, its light as a feather and hard as steal. It handles so well, I don't want to lay it out of my hand.
The hilt is 7 inch, so if you hold it with one hand you can stem the hilt in the lower arm and you don't even feel the weight. And with both hands on it, its not heavier as a normal kitchen knife.

I was at the flea market yesterday and there is a guy that sells the Witch King sword for $49 and the strider sword for $49. They look pretty bad ass. I'm gonna buy one, which do you think?

[Envin]

Hmmm...make sure they're real, and not knock-offs. I've seen cheap imitations that look like the real thing, but on closer look aren't. Don't get taken. If they're real, then that's an insanely good deal. I'd get one, but of course I'd buy the strider sword. Is is the Ranger Sword or Andúril?

[Garland]

Oh, I'm sure they are not 'real' swords, probably just meant as cool decorations. They are really good looking swords though. And its the ranger sword, pretty awesome.

[Vaire]

Did you got it now? How is it?

[Envin]

Well, I didn't mean 'real' as in battle-ready, but rather knock-offs than the licensed United brand. Just curious. Yeah, didja get it yet?
