Thanks for the reply Rij, a couple of things. I agree, I conceed on the number of times it's folded. The swords my wife's brother-in-law i believer are genuine. I examined them closely and they are folded ... lots of times. He was also approached by 2 or 3 sword hunters over the years tracking down particular family heirlooms.rijruna wrote:Iv made weapons for the local chapter of 'the society of creative anachronisms' who do battle with real swords & armour etc. Iv made Halberds, Bills, Pikes etc.
The SCA is not in the habit of fighting with live steel. If they are they need to have thier heads examined. They most typically use rattan wrapped in duct tape (an SCA Must ) and sometimes reinforced with plastic strips.
Great links thanks!
Yea Cuda.. whatever. nice bat'leth. I've seen one, not this nice in that sword shop in the Clackamas Mall. They have replicas by the same artist that made the knife in last Star Trek movie.
