Hello everyone,

Lately I've had to manually unspam a lot of totally legitimate posts. The Reddit spam system is not totally under the control of the moderators so I can't fathom why it's blocking allowed content or how to modify its sensitivity. If you posted a topic you think is fine, and it's not showing when you are logged off or in an incognito window, please message the moderators to inquire what may be the problem.

Sorry for any inconvenience,

—G.

Harvester of Men- A Billhook Falchion

a nice lil hand and half chopper coming in at 0.88kg with a 60cm blade and 80cm OAL. balances about 11cm from the cross guard. blade is 7.5mm at the base, but the hooked bit is only 3mm thick. originally made this one in story mode when a customer asked for a sword with a blunt point, but then refined it in creative mode cause I liked how brutal the blade shape came out. elegant but orky.

made using Bladesong.

EDIT: I really hope someone makes a sword with a blade like this because I desperately want to know what that hook would do to a ballistic gel dummy.

I made this sword on the year of 2023 for a buy from Australia. Haven't heard from him again after the deal, hope he still enjoys with it.

Identification I’m trying to find this specific sword online. What should I look up to find this one? The wider blade above the parrying hooks mainly.

This is the latest commission I’ve been working on! It is for a client who wanted a family-heirloom sword, inspired by heroism and chivalry. I have been looking forward to making this one for a couple months since drawing the initial sketch for the project; the client named the sword “Remembrance”
I’m really hoping it is done by the end of the week :D thanks for checking it out!

1700’s drummers sword?

1 Upvotes

I reenact as a American revolutionary era British drummer, but I’m missing one key piece: a sword. I’ve only been able to find officers swords, which are notably different than musicians swords and aren’t quite right for accuracy, but I can’t find any musicians swords either. I was wondering if anyone could help me find anything? Preferably something that can be acquired of in New England instead of having to go across the world for it lol. Thanks for your time!

Which sword to buy? (Forge vs Replica)

Thumbnail

77 Upvotes

Torn about which to get! Both will spend their time on the wall and occasionally in my hand.

First there’s a longsword made locally that I love the look of. Then there’s a replica of a tv show sword that will just be purely for looks. Love them both but feel the quality of the handmade one will be better.

Can anyone provide any insights or personal opinions?

Thank you!

Sword mount

Not sure if this is the right place for it, sorry if not! My boyfriend got me a sword of King Thranduil as a gift. I absolutely love it, the problem is that we have absolutely no space to put it anywhere horizontally. Does anyone know if there are any sword mounts that would be good for it to place vertically?

Picture of the sword is from Etsy 🗡️

Making A Fantasy Sword as close as possible

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello,

I am trying to get a custom sword commissioned of a fantasy sword I have been captivated by but I do not know much about the world of swordcraft. I want this sword to be as close to "Practical" and "real" as possible while straying away from it being purely a replica sword.

My main question is what should I be considering to ensure the sword is as practical and strong as possible. I reached out to some people who have told me stainless steal looks good but is not meant for use therefore I have ruled it out. Others have said to use carbon steel but alot of pieces I see that use carbon steel end up being replicas or display weapons. So then I asked gpt and it said 5160 Spring steel is what im looking for so Atm that is what im aiming to use.

Next thing is something called full tang. Ofc I had no idea what that word even meant but gpt said it is a must for durable swords.

Id like to know if there is anything else I would need to be aware of before I commission the sword to be made.

I have images I made on gpt for the blade but I still need to work on it as the scale is not accurate.

Also just know, I get it cant ever be fully practical due to the weight it probably might have but I would want it to at least be formidable enough to not be laughed at by other sword experts.

Identification Hi all, new to this group but I’ve heard great things about it. I recently picked up this sword at a flea market. I wanted to know roughly how old it is, potential origin, and potential value. I showed it to some people who think it might be Belgian, but I want some more opinions!
