Nytesky, I'm not sure if it was me you were talking to about the cost of the sword etc. Yes it is suitable for fighting but I only have it for decorative purposes. I have friends who dress up as Vikings and fight with real swords and stuff but I am rather slightly built and can hardly lift her, nevermind swing her at my enemies. As for price she cost me £100 when I was 16 and I'm now 30 so who knows what she's worth now. Sorry I've noticed I've slid from it to she, I do that often, whoops. She's called Silencia. She lives at my mothers house because I have friends here in the city who have swords and stuff on their walls and I don't want to be accused of copying them when theirs are decorative and mine is the genuine orc killing article. Sorry I am rambling, just in case you've not come accross me on this site before I am famous for it. I got it because I quite liked the film 'Highlander'. That's embarressing isn't it? The blacksmith who made it is stll working near Bamburgh in Northumberland, England but he doesn't do technology and looks like King Arthur (if you can imagine that). Bother rambling again, swords, saxons and food are my three favourite topics after LOTR (oh and sewing!) so I don't half go on. Sorry, I'm leaving now I promise.
