Beautifully balanced and finished.
Couldn't resist, as i've got another being custom made but the waiting list is around 12 months.

You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

Lack of will power has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability.
There's hope yet then !

Don't get why you'd spend (the probably not inconsiderable amount of money!?) on something like that - I have the same issue with people
who collect guns too...... I can appreciate the craftsmanship and the design but they were designed as and only function is being a weapon so unless
you're a professional knight or a medieval soldier of fortune what's the point of having one?

Got a mate who teaches european martial arts (ie how to fight like a knight / serf / back stabbing street fighter in the middle ages).
He'd really appreciate that. Keep meaning to go along - but i'm a smiggly bit nervous using one of those with a 'blunt' edge
in training combat!
Looks fabulous.

ooooohhhhh Shiney 
My brother has been recently looking at taking up Medievel Sword fighting as a hobby and his gf bought him a very nice sword for his birthday (mine
just buys me erm really usefull stuff  )
Strikes me that it would be a hell of a lot more fun than taking up fencing
As for the people asking why.......why the hell not

If you have to ask why, no explanation will give you a satisfactory answer.
Nice bit of kit mate.
I used to make knives years ago but never tried anything that big.
My pride and joy is a Wakizashi that SWMBO bought me for our 20th anniversary.
Oh, deep joy!
It really would keep 'em off the stairs, if we had any.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Do you keep it under your pillow?

I was walking back to the station last night with a colleague from my new work-place... we were talking about tin-tops, and he said that he had
thought about getting a Yaris like mine, but he couldn't get his 9-foot-long halberd inside! (Sealed Knot member).

You ought to show them that on British Blades. They have a section for stuff like that and people post
on there who make them.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I can appreciate the workmanship and the time taken to craft such a thing, but I'm afraid I belong to the 'why own a weapon that is
designed purely for killing people?' camp. Surely you can never use it for the purpose it was intended (unless you are a blood thirsty killer of
course )
Just as irresponsible as owning a sawn off shotgun imo.
Cheers,
Raz

I like the aesthetics of it.
Sword smithing is an art, and a well made sword is beautiful.
I've also got a shotgun too.
So far i've avoided any murderous rampages :p
I expect it to appreciate in price to as the maker gets more renowned.

Owning a sawn off shotgun is illegal.
Unless, of course, you have a permit for one.
Apart from that, why is it irresponsible?
