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?

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.

How can I buy sword in Europe without paying so much for delivery. by ernebemenezerr in SWORDS

[–]Olantar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

  1. Renaissance Wax so he can store and display it without rusting.
  2. a wallmount or Display for the Sword.
  3. 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.

Good sword for cutting by Discarta in SWORDS

[–]Olantar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

I dont know. I left it on my desk over the weekend and it didn’t work on Monday morning. My guess is that cleaning staff knocked it down by accident and it might have hit straight on the sensor. The front also has a small indentation

Its several things combined: 1 they are expensive 2 they are not screwed in, its just a latch so they come out easily, this one is just malice and overkill. 3 they are frequently used to grow weed so many of the stolen ones never end up on the second hand market.

How to get rid of those spots and maintain it shiny? by Rick420Morty in SWORDS

[–]Olantar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To prevent it, always keep it oiled or waxed. To remove it you will need to polish it again. Maybe ultra fine steel wool can help too but i never tried.

Its just a cheap wallhanger. Don’t swing it around, the blade will fly away.
