I could say this and that, but the overall effect is very striking and worth posting.

cocobolo fittings?!?! hock:

Very pretty! Too bad there are no grooves on the grip!

a bit over the top if you ask me, but nice in a gothicy way.........

Hmm the designs on the hilt seem Celtic in some ways.

Very nice...

But i think not very acurate or close to any original one :roll:

The blade is modern damascus. Nothing the Romans ever used or even knew how to make. Costly and most inaccurate.. hock:

I personally can't stand damascus...it's like the mesh stalkings hookers wear of metals.

I will second that and add the following:





Nothing, but absolutely Nothing beats this...................

1300 AD

Well, as I said, I could point things out, but I decided not to. The overall effect was what I was talking about.

(like, it's not like the Fulham...)

Nice craftsmanship though.

oh yes indeed it looks well crafted!

and it is an acquired taste of course! i would love to see a proper copy of the real FULHAM type btw!!

i like the shape of that blade, as with the MAINZ.......

however there is one sword type which has my soul......

and its not Western..........

:lol:

M.VIB.M.

Yes, the mainz in my favorite too! Something about the shape of the blade I guess!
