heh, nice sword. have you got some smiting to do?

did you buy it for sport, or just an interest in pretty, sharp things?

No smiting planned, but you never know
I just like pretty sharp things, a good swordsmith is an artist, but i've never had the free money to indulge till now

Looks nice dude How much does it weigh?
$qu!ff your friendly neigbourhood serial killer

1.27kg is quoted on his website.

Cool, but I don't like the basket hilt. Is is actually sharp and what do you do with it?

Yup it's sharp, it's a proper hand forged sword.

er why ?

is it for sporting use ?

Because I like the asthetics of swords.
Why do some people spend thousands on watches?
I expect it to appreciate too as the swordsmith is become more in demand all the time.
