I know this replica is not new to many here, but I just had to show it off.
Paul Southern graciously helped me through some questions about this sword. I was enamoured from the moment I set eyes on the original back in 1981 when I first saw the movie. Many years have past since then. I just started getting interested in swords here this summer, after collecting firearms for many years. This website was more or less my gateway to this very exciting and interesting hobby. It was through this website that I found that replicas of the Excalibur sword had been made. Basically two worthy ones. This one and the Albion Discerner. I did not want to pay $2k if $322 would work. Paul felt I should give it a go with this one. I am so glad I did. I could not be happier. The workmanship on this sword is just beautiful. It's presence says Beauty, Power, Excellence.
I love Excalibur... the sword, and the movie the sword you got is from. I have been VERY tempted in the past to buy one of those... very tempted indeed.
You owe it to yourself to get one of these if you love that movie and story. The presence of this sword is at least 5x what you see in these and other pics of it. Paul was right in saying that this sword is a gem.

Yeah, handful is right. I just weighed mine and it was 4 lb 10 oz on my digital scale.
But it is a LOT of sword.
I'm still marveling at how well everything is executed on this sword. The fuller is beautiful. Dang near perfect. Beautiful pommel. Well cut and a very good peen on it. Lovely quillon too. The Lady of the Lake would be well pleased.
You know something? That's one of the nicest Excaliburs I've ever seen. Simple yet elegant without looking like a toy. Liking the grip too. A good choice, doctorxring
Ten4 on the handle being a bit too long. I've thought about using part of the $1600 I saved over the Discerner to have the handle shortened a bit.
But I tell you what, I think Generation 2 got the blade profile more closely than what is on the Albion Discerner. Of course, the Albion sword is not patterned after the Excalibur sword, but the Jim Lindsey heritage sword that just coincidentally looks like the Excalibur movie sword. At least the sword that is used in the rising sword in the Lady of the Lake scene. There is probably more than one prop sword used in this movie.
Check out this video -- it has a lot of clips of the sword in the movie --
HiDef version here -- takes a while to load, but worth it --
Beautiful sword, it looks great! Simple, yet elegant! Now, my only question is...does it have a green glint to it THAT would be really cool
I actually watched this movie again on Netflix through their streaming mode (I have it on VHS but...I don't have a VHS player anymore...).The guy who played Merlin did an awesome job with the "crazy wizard" persona...I think I laughed every time he spoke ;D

mrstabby: yeah, and if you go up to the original pose, deleted. So a deletion doesn't go into the quotation marks, good to know.

AndiTheBarvarian: @jitte, he was quoted in the recently updated hot pepper thread.

mrstabby: Must have been on purpose though, else he would have been back, no? I didn't get why we should talk about the plant....The singer you moron! Took me longer than I would like to admit....

AndiTheBarvarian: We could start a thread about Poppy to lure him back.

mrstabby: I don't know how I got the name so wrong, it was "jitte", looked like he was in the middle of posting and suddennly was gone, just weird

mrstabby: ceri-something, one second was editing a post, next second whole account was gone.

nerdthenord: who was it?
Aug 15, 2024 19:23:13 GMT
mrstabby: Hey, did he do anything and got booted or delete himself?

Deleted: The cane I have is a 37" hickory with octagon shaft and a 5.25" opening from end of crook to shaft. It is very light, quick, easy to handle and you could work it like Poppy does in the video. Everybody wants to be Poppy.
