A falcata depicts a horsehead and is found in Iberian Spain. Same thing, just a difference in animals and geography.

Some are more simple.

Half of my sword collection is so bad I'd call them fantasy pieces, lol. I've seen some truly excellently made semi-historically accurate swords here and on other sites and when I contacted the makers to ask if they will make me a more accurate sword...they say "no" as they don't want to be criticized online even if the customer asked for non-historically accurate materials and types of steel, like stainless. I have three stainless steel demo swords, nicely made and perfectly shaped, and they never need maintenance! All the rest need love and care...

The poll is locked, so I can't vote. I'd go with the spatha.

Or better, I'd go with a kopis. He made a spectacular one for Lebleuchevalier, one I'm considering duplicating. But then maybe you've already got one. Here it is. You were in that thread too.

KOPIS

treeslicer: Well, shoot! It was worth a try.

Apr 12, 2021 2:40:29 GMT

christain: I gottaneedtawannahave (my wife's talk, NOT mine) a nice set of plate gauntlets, but they don't give those things away. I finally got a pair of sabatons (foot armor) and had to send the company a blank check and a sample of DNA.

Apr 12, 2021 0:42:06 GMT

christain: treeslicer---I don't have a 'nihonto', unless you count a great-sword, dagger, and a shield. Oh....and three sets of armor...maille, darkened plate, and polished plate. Matter of fact, I'll be getting more armor real soon.

Apr 12, 2021 0:31:25 GMT

christain: Djinnja----What do you need to complete your armour? Ask me---I may just have it and be willing to sell. Apr 12, 2021 0:23:45 GMT

treeslicer: It's not senility. Your nihonto are infested with fox spirits. Send me your swords, and I'll take care of it for you.

christain: Disappearing swords? This would be a game-changer for sure.

Apr 8, 2021 22:29:12 GMT

christain: I'm getting old and senile. I found two empty sword scabbards in my 'dressing room'. I say to myself---"Where the heck are they?

" I looked under the bed. Nope. I looked in every room in the house. Nope. Went back to my room and there they were.

markus313: BN - got it. Over. Apr 8, 2021 19:08:52 GMT

Brother Nathaniel: Markus, I would love to see your thoughts on "Custer's Revenge". Over. Apr 8, 2021 17:23:34 GMT

bruntson: Beef and Bourbon, say no more. I'm heading over. Apr 7, 2021 19:27:41 GMT

christain: Inject the bourbon with a meat syringe and get to smokin'. (The ham, that is.

)....McM Apr 6, 2021 20:03:13 GMT *

christain: Or maybe a big ol' brisket on the smoker with my special bourbon/garlic/onion injection., Put about a half cup of your favorite bourbon in a jar, chop and smash the garlic,slice the onion. Lid the jar and refrigerate for a day or two. Apr 6, 2021 19:50:29 GMT *

christain: Sounds great. May do that for July 4th. I never met a ham I didn't like!

Apr 6, 2021 19:17:58 GMT

alientude: My wife did a ham with the glaze in this recipe: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/102603/roasted-easter-ham/. Best ham we've ever had. Apr 5, 2021 2:25:31 GMT

christain: Happy Easter to you and yours also, Brother Nat. I had the Easter Bunny hide an egg in your yard with the SBG logo on it. If you find it, it contains a gift certificate from KOA for $10,000. Happy hunting!

Apr 4, 2021 22:03:22 GMT

christain: Does it really matter? I'll be eating ham for a week, then use the bone to throw into a pot of beans. That, and a big skillet full of cornbread....happy man here.

AndiTheBarvarian: What was said after "huge ham"? Apr 4, 2021 21:01:22 GMT

Brother Nathaniel: Christain my old friend, Happy Easter! Apr 4, 2021 20:22:14 GMT

christain: My wife has a huge ham cooked up, along with potato salad, baked beans, and yeast rolls...along with a strawberry cake and a buttermilk pie. Buttermilk pie may sound gross to some, but don't knock it 'till you try it.
