if you want a real buster sword, check this guy out.

You can tell that a real one can be made and used, but you would kill your back in the process.

Real? Made and USED?

It's just a giant piece of 1/4" flatstock with an inch or two edge bevel crapped on it. Not even heat-treated. Besides the fact that it only PASSINGLY resembles the Buster Sword, it's just a piece of semprini. It's too heavy to be used as a sword.

From what I can see, the guy doesn't make "swords", he makes overweight, steel props.

A sword is a specific tool. Just like grinding an edge on a random piece of metal doesn't make it a knife, this guy doesn't make swords.

Holy crap. For once, in a very long time, we agree with each other.

The music was also funny for this clip. He gets a darwin award.

Ok, I shouldn't have said he makes swords. It seems to just be a guy with a big piece of metal that is roughly sharpened and has a handle. I just posted it because it shows that the "giant fantasy swords" could not be used in real life without killing yourself.

I absolutely hate the "huge swords" -trend, but looking at the other videos from that guy and seeing some of the items he's made in them... well, he may not be a swordsmith, but he seems to be able to create some interesting stuff. Mostly movie prop -like stuff, that is.

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
