I seem to expect drama at any place where there's a gathering of fellows who have romantically become involved with weapons of gone-by ages and their usage in a world that frowns upon our vision of an antique practice... But frankly, other than the usual 'you can't/can end him rightly' or 'this is good/this is bad' or 'this is the better interpretation/yours is a sodden work' debates, there tends to be lesser drama here. Hello Asad, I agree that you can find drama almost everywhere, but you have to agree that there's a certain irony that people who share a passion for weapons are most often "more" peaceable than those who disagree with our shared love of sharp, shiny things! Now that's not a fact that you'll find in any sort of record book, or book on Sociology, but it's something I've shared with even firearms groups I've been a part of over the years. Oh no, not you too with the "end him rightly" thing LOL I've known a guy that has a YouTube channel for quite a few years (actually since he started out on YouTube) whose viewers are OBSESSED with that phrase!! I gave him crap for starting that "craze" bug I don't want to assume that's where you got it from. I do know that "end him rightly" is found in some very old treatises and "ancient" sword/fighting manuals. Skallagrim is responsible for making that go viral in the sword community. ;)

I've known Skall pretty much since he just moved to Canada with his wife Cara.....kinda before she started working at the University, and he had a goofy part-time job to fund his, at the time, new channel. I even donated a custom basket hilted saber/cutlass from my own collection so he'd have stuff to review. He actually used it on a video he did on sharpening like 3 weeks ago. Skall and Cara are good people, she just likes to spoil him with Albion swords.....lucky bastage!

Fantastic! I've found it somewhat difficult to talk to "sword people" about firearms and vice versa.....but they're out there o_0 LOL Well met then! Steven's my name, and I'm the most wanted man on my island.....except I'm not on my island. I've been dying to use that introduction for quite a while, so thank you for that!!! 😎 There are a few of us sword+firearm lovers here too. You'll find yourself right at home. welcome, my friend! One here, though I have a preference for custom 1911s and military M19 replicas.
