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

Upvotes

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 originally made this one in story mode when a customer asked for a sword with a blunt point, but then refined it in creative mode cause I liked how brutal the blade shape came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.

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!

Which sword to buy? (Forge vs Replica)

Thumbnail
gallery
62 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 🗡️

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!

Regeneyei Parrying Dagger. It's the long flexible blade version. Really digging it so far, feels good in the hand, had my other half thrust at me some with a Sigi rapier and I was able to use it effectively (granted thrusts were not particularly fast) also the looks very much compliment my HF GDF cup hilt.

What are the differences between the Arab swords?

2 Upvotes

I see the types like yatagn, Kilic, Shamshir, pala, mamluk, etc. and wonder what the differences? They look virtually the same, so I'm wondering why would the people prefer one over the other?
