Title: Reclaiming the Blade
Post by: Saxman on December 02, 2008, 12:54:30 PM: http://www.reclaimingtheblade.com/RTBtrailer.html

Oh man, I can't WAIT for this to come out. Limited theatrical release sometime I believe this year.

You mean to tell me you would pay to go to a theater and watch that? I'm a sword nut and theres no way I would. I'd watch it on TV or buy it on DVD, but as a theatrical release? :huh

They even offer classes in medieval combat. Sax, if you're ever in the area, it's a great place to spend a few hours.

Post by: Saxman on December 03, 2008, 04:22:03 PM: German longsword. This one is an aluminum waster, I'm currently looking into having a steel practice sword made to the same dimensions (40" blade, 13" hilt, ~3lbs, 3" center of balance).

Base model of my waster. Mine has a 4" ricasso, a diamond-section blade, and a red leather-wrapped grip but otherwise the same.

This is an Irish-style sword

The hollow pommel is a defining characteristic of Irish swords.

Post by: Treize69 on December 04, 2008, 07:58:46 AM: Mines like this but with a round pommel and narrower fuller. This one has a bit more of a Viking look than mine, but its the closest pic I can find quickly.
