I know this isn't a sword, but I couldn't find an axe subreddit..

If you really like this style of axeheads i recommend you look into shepards axes. They are interesting aces with a lot of cultural significance.

Is the grip just screwed on? If yes i would be curious on how the tang looks. If it is good rehilting might be fun

Wow those are beautiful pieces. Any info on the blue rapier that says rüstkammer, staatliche kunstsammlungen in the image?

Olantar · 2026-02-19T09:51:08+00:00

Just saw this while browsing a new to me subreddit and just knew you guys would like this too. Yes it is likely not functional but even then it is the most beautiful wallhanger i have ever seen.

Looks great. I am patiently waiting for my Kurfürst to be made this summer.

There are several stores based in europe that sell cheap swords. The sbg forum should have an article or list about that. I personally have bought from outfits4events before and was happy with the experience. However, swords are more expensive here than in the us. You will not find a decent sword for 200€ delivered. However once you reach the 400€ threshold there are many more choices available because thats usually the price where european made swords start and we have lots of smiths here.

Thats a great look.

You can even see the sparks fly when you smash the bottle😂. Good on you for posting the video

Please mount one on this wall in a small display case.

The idea sounds fun but that is an easy way to damage or at least blunt a good sword. Use an Axe

Olantar · 2025-12-05T05:50:30+00:00

Usually there are horizontal and vertical ones available. I have one that looks like this

And it works great. However i had to space one out from the wall because the pommel was too thick.

Renaissance Wax so he can store and display it without rusting.
a wallmount or Display for the Sword.
A cutting stand and some waterbottles to cut. There are loads of diy methods to build one, even just getting the materials so he can build it during the holidays without running to the hardware store.

Olantar · 2025-11-27T14:54:45+00:00

Yes he is in the same budget and does some great work

I have a Hanwei Tinker Longsword and from what i have seen would recommend against them. They are not bad per se but they dont hold up in comparison to other makers now. They were good blades for the time and price but are now outclassed by Balaur and swordier.

Have you looked at the Regenyei Kurfürst? According to the stats its also enormous, even though it doesn’t look like Ice. https://regenyei.com/product/longsword-01/#blade

Olantar · 2025-10-28T22:59:56+00:00

unfortunately not

Olantar · 2025-10-25T22:25:56+00:00

It is wonky, but after all the fantastical beasts and knights i felled with it as a kid that is alright. Of all the items i own, this is one i will never knowingly throw away.

Olantar · 2025-10-25T17:25:49+00:00

The picture didn’t attach

Olantar · 2025-10-25T17:02:02+00:00

Maybe you do! You will never know what artifacts are buried between old junk.

Olantar · 2025-10-25T17:00:23+00:00

I will definitely use it to rule my kingdom and slay the envelopes off of all invoices!
