New Sword

A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

New Sword

Post by Eofor »

Just sharing a new sword I picked up the other day - a custom Valiant Armoury longsword with belt fittings by Tods stuff.

I really didn't need it and it doesn't quite suit my persona but the price and its location (in Australia) made it too hard to resist. I am happy to report that I don't regret the purchase at all, it handles well, looks great and is worth twice over what I paid.

Pics alongside Gregs old Bristol for reference.

But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.

Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

My bank balance would suggest not, though I should probably shift focus, my gear is very rangerish.

That is a slick looking design right there! The two rings on the crossguard are really fun. I love it! We need more Men of Rohan though so be careful on the road to a Ranger haha!
