yes....I make most of mine....or ask one of my weaponsmith friends to do it. I have a broadsword, sabre, recurve bow, and longbow......my armor has yet to see the forge..

Update: I just completed my giant b*****d sword. Damn...Maybe I should shorten it. I mean, it works great and its edge is razor sharp; I no longer have an apple tree. But I made it a bit too long...oh well, learn from your mistakes I guess.

.............. giant b*****d sword? what manner of blade is this?
Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2007 8:57 pm
It's a hand and a half b*****d sword......though I didn't calculate the length of the blade carefully before forging.......so it ended up being about 8 inches longer than anticipated....so that is why I called it giant......because its bigger than any other blade I've made.

You don't want a blade too long if it doesn't have sufficient width. what are the dimensions of the sword?
Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 1:25 am
It started out with a bit of an unseemly width anyway....two and a half inches.....but I used a density forging technique that makes the steel both strong and flexible, leaving few limits to the length. The Weaponsmith I am in apprenticeship for made a six foot sword that was only two and a half inches wide and was able to wail on one of my knight friends something fierce. Personally I prefer to use my hand and a half longsword for full contact...I just like the weight of it and I've trained with it the most....
