Theres a blade and sheath for $75 at SFI: www.swordforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96593This would be a great opportunity for someone to do something. It'd be cool to see you guys come up with something. The blades been modified, but hey it should be ok for something.

I just recently did a slight customization on this same sword here so I can say form experience that it's a great blade for customizing. $75 for this is a pretty good deal. In fact, if I had any way of making a guard and pommel I'd probably grab it myself.

Bren, Is this fella trustworthy? Well with 7,500 posts at SFI you know where you can find him if he isn't I haven't known him not to be reputable over there.

Does this help: CLICKIt's one of those Windlass Kingdom of heaven things. The Ibelin, with 2" cut off the shoulder for a longer tang. No hilt, just the blade and scabbard.

Were I to pick up that blade, I'd end up shortening the tang and making it a dedicated arming sword with a bowtie cross and a wheel or octagonal pommel. Should be able to make some pretty powerful cuts with the POB moved out.

I dunno, I have the same sword, but with the blade unmodified, and I'm not certain that shortening the blade 2 inches would make that great of an arming sword, it might not be very well balanced for that. For this price though it would probably be worth a try.

Should be able to make some pretty powerful cuts with the POB moved out. Good idea; maybe 'cut it down' to a type Xa- it'd shorten the sword by a full 5 inches if I do what I'm thinking...alas, I'm not sure if its in the books for me to get this one. I keep seeing other swords in my mind's eye that I must have...
