I love what you did with the H/T Longsword. Did shortening the grip affect the performance at all? By the way, I noticed you left out your Hanwei Kama.

If the answer is in, I'm not so sure about the wisdom of locking him in there with all that sword hardware .

Thanks, fellas - Vince, actually the kama are the discontinued Masahiro ones KOA used to sell for $18 each...but they are full tang and carbon steel. There are actually a cheap pair of sai and a Hibben display knife down there, too. The straight black "sword" all the way in the corner is my first sword ever...my dad made it for me out of scrap iron and a mop handle.

And the "little demon" is me & my fiance's undead zombie child (see Dawn of the Dead re-make). Together with the fence, it guards the swords from any sneaky Odin-takers (Sean...) & my little hyperactive dog, Peanut.

There's just something about the stock hilt configuration that does nothing for me; it just doesn't sit right with me, but your custom looks a lot better.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
