I shall grant you that. I'm a hound for puncuation and capitalization. Granted.. I can't spell for grog though. *shrug*
And I'm sorry to break it to ya Jim, but I'm no lad. I's a Lass
Anyway, back to busines...
I'm not about to be spending anywhere near a grand on a sword. I'm not THAT into them yet. A few hundred dollars.. maybe. But I'd like my first one to be relatively cheap and easy to handle, something I can goof around with. I don't need sharp edges or anything of the sort. Don't want to go choppin' anything off, yes?
I've a friend who is into Katanas.. and he has agreed to work with me as far as handling, so I'm set there.
I may go into collecting eventually, but for now it's going to remain a small hobby and interest. But if I can find a good Norrington replica for around $200, I'll be all over it.
I PMed Billy Bones, and he's yet to get back to me. *shrug*
I live in California, and there is a shop near my mother's work called Pirate's Plunder. The owner there informed me that he supplied many of the weapons for the pirate movies. So I think when I get back to Cali (I'm in Texas on vacation at the moment) I'll drive down and check out the store, see if maybe he can help me out.
I'm just testing the waters as of now, but I truely am interested in this.
I also went on Ebay last night to look for smallswords.. but none of them came close. So I started browsing broadsword replicas from LOTR (because my mom wanted to see them...) and I found what seemed to be a great sword for under $20... seemed like a great deal...
Anyone know if this is krap?
I was really really tempted...
