MEEE!!!
Also, I vote freeform.

HAH!

Thanks folks! It's been a somewhat subdued birthday because several members of my family were in a nasty car accident last night, but luckily none of them were permanently injured, and I'm feeling very thankful that it wasn't a lot worse. So overall I guess it's been a bit of a rough day, but a good...

I love to drool over Armstreet's stuff. Sadly it is all far outside of my price range. You should check out their archer's bracers sometime. They're exquisite.

I feel like I read somewhere that seaxes were often repurposed from sword blades, but I can't for the life of me remember where.

I love it when Simplicity puts these sorts of patterns out!

He hasn't stated publicly his asking price, but I know he would discuss it with you if you asked him. If the rest of the stuff he's selling is any indication, he'll probabyl offer you a fairly good deal. Just tell him I referred you.

A guy I know is selling his Windlass Steelcrafts licensed Robin Hood sword and scabbard here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190876309033?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 He's also selling several other parts of his costume and accessories for that character, but he has those lis...

I think you made a good decision, sir! Those look great for what you're doing!

Aw, damn, because that style of pommel is EXACTLY hat I wanted, but I figured he'd charge more for the higher level of detail. I love octagonal pommels in general, but a more complex one like what you described would be absolutely amazing.

Cool, thanks! Those were the exact ones I was thinking of getting for myself, so that's good to know. Are the toes especially pointy? As in, noticeably-odd-looking pointy? Because at the moment that's really the only thing stopping me from ordering a pair.

I don't recall the exact amount, but I could probably look it up in our emails. It started out being a little over $500, but now I'm having him do the leather grip for me (I had originally planned to do it myself, but I trust his skill in this area a bit more than my own), so that bumped it up a bit...

MORE PICTURES! HUZZAH!

In these sort of ventures, Rangersam, remember: You can have it NOW. You can have it CHEAP. or you can have it 'RIGHT'. But Choose Carefully, you only get two of the three! If you want it Now and Cheap, it will be terrible quality (eventually costing you more $ in the long run to replace). If you w...

Nice!
