Pistol Pete Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If yer gearin' up for PIP no need to lighten yer hoard o' booty too drastic. I bought a knock off blade w/ scabbard on clearance for $25. Spent $3 on 3 leather cinch belts at a thrift store, added a little pirate craft & in this humble Jack Tar's opinion, a decent serviceable looking weapon. I didn't tear apart the handle yet but I wouldn't trust it a fight against a whorehouse swab! Just fer looks. Pic in my gallery. Son of a son of a son....

wes1761 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Where did you find that for $25??? I like the hilt, I have 3 blades at home I am trying to finish up.......that hilt would look sweet on my cold steel! Nicely done! If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....

Gunpowder Gertie Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If'n I might be so bold, I heared tell from others what own that blade.stories abound o' the blade snapping off in the scabbard..it happened t' me own mate Black Tess. Sword had ne'er been pulled. Heard tell o' several maties what the same happened. Buyers beware..ye get what ye pay for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captscurvy_nc Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Heard the same thing but I also have someone in my crew who did some minor welding to it and it's lasted for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
