Battle Ready blades?

Post by Wilhelm zu Eltz-Kempenich »

Hey! my cousin is looking for a good place with nice battle ready (steel) swords, with reasonable prices. We know (and love) starfire, but something a little less pricey (like on e-bay) is what he desires. Thanks a lot. E-mail him at Edal_mage@hotmail.com, and tell him Azommin sent ya!

you ever owned/fought with one of these?
if so how does it hold up?

last question, how the hell do you determine the price on those?

Hey Halvgrim:
Yes, I own a Strafire, and it hold up amazingly well. The cross hilt dents pretty easily but the blade has hardly a scratch on it. For your last question, Are you refering to how one would decide how much money is too much to pay? Clarify that for me, and I'd be happy to answer your question.\

Not to worry Halvgrimr! If you're a good boy I'll let you use mine a bit in January.

Just accidently came across this page while I was reading this thread.
Traditionelle-events.de


I like the appearance of some of the pieces, but otherwise know nothing.
