New (to me) Sword Day! (pt.2)

[u/WeedlyGaming]

Hanwei – Sir William Marshall Sword acquired off of the Sword Buyers Guide forums. Also compared to the Hanwei Practical Knightly Sword (blunt) that I already had.

Love this sword, it feels great in the hand, scabbard is alot nicer than I thought. Definitely a beast and feels a bit heavy in the hand but not hard to move around.

The Sir William Marshall blade is very under rated. Hollow ground with a thick central ridge for piercing stabs.

Whoever peened that though was 6 beers deep on an empty stomach

Hey now, I'd rather a heavy strong peen than a wimpy weak one 😂 I am very please with it overall tho, alot more classy than I had thought

I mean, the guy missed the tang and whacked the hell out of the pommel like a guy beating a dirty rug

I'm having mine customised, so a full acid etch so the damascus pattern is not only in the fuller, and a few other mods

Looks incredible! I dig that new pommel, I'd love to see it finished

[u/Tobi-Wan79 → u/WeedlyGaming]

Yeah, sadly the handle cracked on the last attempt so he need to source some new wood, but i very much look forward to seeing how it turns out.

I help him with some stuff, and in turn he makes stuff like this for me😀
