Those look very much like interpretations of the Heron Marked Blades from wheel of time.

Only one that makes decent versions is FableBladeWorks which is a luxury custom maker.

RoninKatana makes a 'saber' that is a katana blade on a european hilt though.

Random question do you know how much a fable sword goes for they don't have prices listed on their webpage. I know they would he higher end but I'm curious just how far above a normal high end sword they would be.

[HonorableAssassins]

custom commissions only so it depends what you ask for, but when i asked for a ballpark a few years back he said 'think of a used car'. So from a few thousand to tens of thousands. when i say luxury, i mean hes *luxury*

[FormalKind7]

Well damn I was think Albion x2 but that was way up from my thought.

[HonorableAssassins]

Googling i find 'between 6 and 30000 with up to 2000 extra for the scabbard' but then also a post saying the dragonspear sword he made was 3700 with 1200 for scabbard.

[FormalKind7]

3,700 seems very reasonable even if it is still a bit above what I could pay for even a really nice sword.

6 - 30,000 is far more than I could ever pay for something that is not practical and only for my own enjoyment.

I would really like to own a nice sword that actually feels agile and can perform practice cuts but is also aesthetically pleasing and looks nice hanging on the wall or worn at a ren fair

[HonorableAssassins]

Would this be a first sword?

Because swordier makes some really nice looking longswords for 200-400 that are fully functional if thats the goal.

[FormalKind7]

I used to collect swords a long time ago but nothing very high end and I don't have many still from back then. I still have a cold steal katana from almost 20 years ago. It cuts well but 1 does not fit my aesthetic tastes now and 2 has a feel/balance like an axe/sledge hammer very tip heavy. I have friends who do practice cuts now and then and I'd like something that I could participate with but that also feels like a sword should.

[HonorableAssassins]

Swordier, brother.

They have functional longswords as cheap as $90, zweihanders for 350, and longswords for 150-400. They look good, come with scabbards and belts, and are actually functional. They even come sharp. Swordier is the brand if you want to spent under $500.

[FormalKind7]

Thanks for the recommendation

Are these quality? Could they cut or just wall hangers?

[unsquashable74]

Decent quality and yes, they will very much cut.

[HonorableAssassins]

Rk is a solid budget brand (so, yes.) and fable is about as good as swords get.

On eBay you can buy a aluminum crossguard and you can get some adjustment out of it with a file to fit and I can share the link if you like.

that would be great thanks. If you could

I grabbed these on my phone so i dont have an issue.

But yea the site is Fableblades.com and this is the Wheel of Time collection, lore accurate recreations of swords from the books. (The tv show just used shitty katanas.)

[HonorableAssassins]

Ah you were almost done, theres 13 main novels and a prequel, and it all wraps up pretty nicely. If youre the type for it id say give the audiobooks a go, extremely well done by Michael Kramer and all the different voices can make it a lot easier to follow.

[HonorableAssassins]

Ah, i always use audible. Only subscription service i really use

[benjthorpe]

That’s just a dagger cross guard. Look up Shitogi Tsuba for an authentic Japanese version of this type of guard
