For sale at cost: Swords, Axes, Flails

My loss is your gain.

From time to time I purchase inventory from new suppliers to check out the quality of their offerings. This time I ordered more than a few pieces, based on photographs provided by the vendor.

As it turns out, the items don't match their photos, and I am not impressed enough with the quality of these pieces to carry them as regular items.

I therefore selling them at my cost.

To purchase these items, and to view pictures, please visit our web site close-out page here:

These look perfect for that guy who wants some swords laying around for experiments and full-contact fighting. At these prices you won't feel bad about trashing them.

DOH!

I just spent my last $60 on a new longbow!
Any chance you'd talk barter for one of the Vikes swords?

Wow, what a selection... scary.
The two "small axes," though, are close enough to something I' use that I'd consider getting them... but I can't figure out why on earth I'd have to pay 22.75 for shipping, according to your site's engine... knock those shite little handles off two of them and make me a reasonable shipping offer, and "sold."

--Agreed!
I was taking out the credit card (the wife rarely notices purchases on it under $20;) and in the middle of ordering one with the intention of blunting it, retempering it and use it for rebated steel combat

Then the shipping rate of $14 hit me and I decided against it

Hey guys - I was WAGing the weight on them when I put them up last night - I'll re-check and adjust where necessary.

Hey could ya give us the lengths such on em?

I'm about to order the hand and a half.

I'll probably get a couple of the others if i like it.

They look alot like Windlass's stuff

Murdock · Post by **Murdock** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:51 pm

Just thought of this....

If your gonna be at Thorngill's practice Sunday i could just come down there and save on shipping. If ya bring a couple of the other Eric and i might just pick up several from ya .

You like cash right? :lol:

Yeh Steve,we're about 45 minutes away.I'll send you a PM about it.

Steve S. · Post by **Steve S.** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 2:27 pm

That's exactly what I thought. The pictures the vendor provided are, in fact, the pictures of Windlass' stuff. I assumed the guy must be a sub-contractor for Windlass. In fact, they are just knock-offs. The quality is not as good as Windlass', and while some of the copies are decent, most are not that faithful.

Murdock: I wasn't planning on being at fighter practice - I don't even know where Thorngill has fighter practice - where is it?

The overall length of the hand-and-a-half sword is 44 3/4". It is the longest sword of the bunch.

Another thing - I've had 6 orders this morning so things are moving off the site fast. I'm not re-ordering these items so if you want to grab something at these low prices you'd better move fast.

Murdock · Post by **Murdock** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 2:52 pm

I dunno where it is.

i suppose we should check the site.

What are the dimensions of

The archers sword
the crusader sword
the falchion
the french sword

Murdock:

from above:

The overall length of the hand-and-a-half sword is 44 3/4". It is the longest sword of the bunch.

All other swords are shorter than the hand-and-a-half.

I'll have to measure the rest later.

"All other swords are shorter than the hand-and-a-half."

I kinda figuered that Steve :wink:

Murdock · Post by **Murdock** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 7:15 pm

Hey steve-o you figuer out where the practice is?

Steve S. · Post by **Steve S.** » Fri Dec 31, 2004 1:16 pm

No, haven't even checked.

If you guys are going to be in town, you could just swing by here - that way I don't have to load up a 20 or so weapons in the car.

Thats what I was trying to tell him. Which is probably what we'll do, just have our own practice saturday and relax sunday. PM me or Murdock directions if thats cool.

Murdock · Post by **Murdock** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 2:05 am

Went and saw Steve today (apparently Thorngill has no Fighter Practice

)

After we finally got there we got to see the shop and all Steve's goodies. Espically considering the cost the swords are nice.

The hand a nd a half is sweeeeeettttt espically for the $$$

The Archers swords feel really lively in the hand, and i got the French sword too.

We'll see how long they last.

Wish we had'nt had to run off so quick but i had to get to work to sit here on the desk and type.

"Maille" as a license plate. Priceless.

Still lots of these to go around.

Those people who want to spar with steel weapons- this is like the ultimate chance to aquire cheap toys. Murdock- tell me what happens when you try these.
