capnwilliam Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Not the best picture of the hilt but if'n you look close you can see this be a sea dragon hilt with the cross guard being the beasts out streached neck. The pommel is it's claw that holds a lovely sea-blue Labrodorite spear.It was made org as a Schlager-style but can be rapier or smaller cutlass as well. The grip is custom fit to my grip. FAST and nasty! And here also be too old ones of mine... and... I'll get some pictures taken of my custom work from Lunndgaard Armoury and pist those as well. Reallly beautiful, Bess! Except that the damn sword gets in the way on the first pic! I must admit that I looked at it for while before realizing that the sword's what I supposed to be looking at!

capnwilliam Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Ooooo.... very nice, Bess. Very nice. :) Well decorated and unique. Welp, mates, here be my small armoury: ~Lady B You have what you need to get the job done, Lady B! Jim "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
capnwilliam Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Here's my armoury - several knives are missing from this photo. I have lots of knives... Jill's ready to shoot them, run them through, chop them up, or stick them. Jim "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Hawk the QM Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Jill's ready to shoot them, run them through, chop them up, or stick them. Jim And as we all know. The black cat is the most dangerous of all weapons.

As luck would have it, I ran into Lars this weekend at Faerie Con in Philly. We talked for quite some time about your swords. Seems you are one of his favorite customers.

Capn Bob Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I suppose I should post some of my hardware here sometime. Only question is, should it be the incredibly destructive weapons, or the weapons that are *not* cats? Damn, thats sharp!
Captain Jim Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 If you have a brace or two of period-correct fighting cats, by all means post us a picture. Also, a short video clip of them in action might be usefull. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Seems you are one of his favorite customers. Well I do adore the boy and his amazing work! I've asked him about another custom hilt but I know he's not about the sword work at the moment.... He's just so darn GOOD at what he does! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

We were talking about getting him back into swords. Seems he has a lot of intrest in doing some sort hilt work agian but only rapiers. I told him that is fine becuase I love making rapier blades...HEHE. Â -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Â
Stynky Tudor Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Hugh, This is just way too much stuff - you really need to lighten your burden. . . . I'll can help.
LadyBarbossa Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Ooooo.... very nice, Bess. Very nice. :) Well decorated and unique. Welp, mates, here be my small armoury: ~Lady B You have what you need to get the job done, Lady B! Jim Aye, thank ye, capnwilliam. Indeed they intimidate more than they are properly used with a bang an' clang. That Potters Dragoon saber is a heavy SoB. Alas, I didn't put in there m' other knife and th' two tomahawks (one that functions and I've used a few times the other is purely a wall mount decoration). Oh, and there is a cheap wall mount highly decorated sword that I don't use any more. Some of Matt's creations are rather wicked and have been catching my eyes. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Cannibal Chrispy Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Ah! I know Lars verry well. He is one of the best guys in the biz. Shame he doesn't do to much sword work these days. My brother guessed it was his at first glance. Hold on to that one Love. Oh, I treasure everything he's made me. AND I treasure Lars and his Wench as well. I need to find someone to leave my pretty's too though.... my kith and kin wuold just toss them when the time comes. I have a few Soul's in mind.... <have you ever considered adoption? wink wink, I do have papers....... yes they are forged. Illustration courtesy of Patrick Hand, and his Pyrate Comix.

Patrick Hand Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I've posted these before, but they are fun to show off. Not pictured is my Doglock Musket.... I got the Buss and bottom pistol from callenish gunner, I like the fact that he checks to see if they spark before he sends them out.....

Mary Diamond Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Which is countered with the PiP Tavern Hell Hound ~ (sorry, couldn't resist, as all my weapons have been made off with ~) Oooh, shiny!
Rev.Sam Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Looking at all these makes me wish for the day that I am not building a proper kit, so I can get t' work on me armaments
theM.A.dDogge Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 but part of proper kit....is the armament!?!?
Rev.Sam Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I agree. I am jus workin on clothes an shoes, afore I get all fancy
1stMate Matt Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Ahhhh I say start with your steel. That way if you someone gives you crap you can always make them go away. YARRRRRR! Â -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Â
Rev.Sam Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Yar, but where can ye find a good stage use blade, so if you do re-eact with it, y' don't have to worry for breakage or worse?
William Brand Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 You're a sailor. You start with a good sailor's knife. Small. Easier to afford. Necessary. Â Â Â
michaelsbagley Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 In my experience more re-enactors DON'T ever use their swords for stage combat than do... And hip hangers are a heck of a lot cheaper than decent stage steel... But if you do intend to eventually get into stage or re-encatment combat, save you pennies and get a good stage steel weapon.

See that is what I thought, I've been curious though, as I know some do, do sword fights here and there. Damn me own stage combat history for being intrigued
