Swords
I mentioned that I bought a new sword and there a few requests for pictures. A few other people mentioned that they have a collection of there own. Here is my modest set of stage use swords.

PF, the second from the left. Going from left to right: 1 meter broadsword from Starfire Swords, Anduril from Darksword-Armory, a 32" that I picked up from the local Renaissance Fair, and a single hand broad sword from Stage Steel. The last I modified the handle on to give it a tighter grip and make it handle heavy.

Only if you want to. I didn't include any show pieces because I only have one.

Sure Jay-T, but I'll have to charge you for the privilege. 900.00 U.S. currency sounds about right. LOL.

Oh, I wouldn't say any of mine are show pieces, not by a long shot. I picked all of them up at a local pawnshop or the flea markets. And I'll get around to getting some pics up, once I can get used to my new pain meds

My definition of show pieces are anything that can't be used for stage fighting. Pretty much everything from licensed replicas to budk specials. My only show piece is an unlicensed replica of the Wallace claymore from Braveheart.

LS: thank you for answering the question I was going to ask: which manufacturer/craftsperson made which blade.
Go ahead and post the show piece, as well.

Japanese sword smiths ahead of schedule and technical mastery of the sword of the excellent quality of steel made during the 8th century. Even the earliest examples of the sandwich structure is characterised by densely populated as many as 10,000 fake alternating layers of higher and lower carbon content to the specific toughness forged. The forefront of a crystal structure of the Japanese sword, and since this is a difficult and locked in the body a bit soft, the sword has considerable flexibility.

Interesting to say the least. Though for some reason I doubt it was Blackbeard's. Traditionally in those times when someone was defeated they surrendered their sword, or at the very least it was taken from them. Then again, Blackbeard could have had several swords and this just one of them that was in his room and subsequently not taken. I guess no one will really know. Not like we can take fingerprints or DNA for testing.
