Workshop Booze Up IV - Enough with the hangovers, get talking!

[Captain Carthage]

I'd say a falchion or some other classy blade.

@Silver: I'd love to get a replica of Anduril but getting one that can actually be used is ridiculously difficult.

@Ladyhawk: Another? We shall see.

@NightAngel: A falchion's classy?   Just kidding but in all honesty, the majority of falchions feel like a sort of glorified axe. That being said, it's an uncommon weapon to find in a collection.

Personal opinion though, I like the look of the shashka. Nice and sleek lines. I'm a little worried that a lot of the weight will be in the blade though because the hilt is so light and small.

I'll tear you limb from limb!

Now that is a classy weapon.

[Jubal]

What do we think defines a weapon as classy, out of interest?

[Silver Wolf]

I own this beauty...

Exactly the same (except the scabbard which is only a bit different), probably dated the same.

[Phoenixguard09]

@SotK: Exactly.

@Silver: That's not a bad blade there at all mate. How does she handle?

@Jubal: A classy weapon? For starters a sword, not an axe or a mace and especially not a gun. *shiver* Anyway, nice lines, fairly long, somewhat fast. That's my definition anyway.

Now if I had the money I'd go get myself something like this. http://www.albion-swords.com/swords/albion/nextgen/sword-medieval-irish-bastard-xix.htm

She's well balanced, but still a bit too heavy and clumsy for use on foot. I mean it's fine, but a shorter sabre would be a lot faster and easier to handle. It's basically like a one edged one handed longsword. But if you somehow manage to squeeze both hands into the handle (Which I can because my palms aren't really wide) then it gets epic... Almost like a claymore.

[Jubal]

Title change. 

[Ladyhawk]

Hahahaha nice!

And PG. Make sure you get a pretty one. If im going to ste.......ehhh, I mean hold, your new sword, I want it to be nice

If I was collecting swords, I would want that. Shame its so expensive .

[comrade_general]

Cripes, that is overly expensive.

[Phoenixguard09]

Yeah Albion swords tend to be a bit on the pricy side. That being said, I've yet to find a bad thing about them and that sword there is a special edition one.

[Jubal]

Anything handcrafted really well, particularly if it's smithing, is going to cost a premium because so few people have that kind of skill nowadays I guess.

couple of weeks ago at a church fate someone was selling (for reasonable prices) 3 full size metal swords (2 were movie prop/LARP the other was a cavalry sabre) was going to get one but then my girlfriend pointed out the difficulties of carrying it home with no scabbard...
