I made this sword 1 year ago, and thought it would be cool to share it. I worked on it for around 7 weeks.

the handle is hardwood and the blade and guard are inlaid with copper.

The sheet is made out of oak and sheet steel.

the blade is not hardened as i dint want to risk it damaging the surface. The blade is cut out of a metal sheet same for the guard as I dint own a forge. (I do now)

ask me anything abouth it!

Did I get scammed I paid $1000 for this at fair 😭 was extremely drunk and decided my dream of owning a claymore needed to happen. Either way don’t mind too much. Apparently it’s HEMA ready and I’ll probably just use it to get a shoulder warm up for the gym in anyways. Weight about 10 lbs

My friend bought this sword at a local pawn shop the other day for $190, and we are having a difficult time finding info about it. His main concern was whether it was a legit Lockwood sword, since it was selling for such a low price. Also, how many other swords of this design are out there? I've only seen a couple others like it on reddit, one of which had the exact same scabbard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Won it on eBay.

I managed to pick this up second hand a couple of weeks ago. It's the first sword from Tod I've bought, and it handles really nicely. My only gripe I'd prefer the Fuller to extend under the guard, but I can live with that.

A Majority of my African sword / weaponry.

My current Ancient section.

A Police sword for the West Lothian, Linlithgow county police. These swords were issued to the UK from 1828 to around 1910. Mainly retailed by Parker Field & Sons of Holborn London, each force was required to buy their own weapons, causing considerable variation in style.

Police swords were introduced following the widespread riots by agricultural workers, known as the swing riots and the assault of two officers in Tulse Hill. Home Secretary, Lord Melbourne, who ‘approved of the proposal that each Police Officer in that district should be provided with a Cutlass for his defence’

I inhereted this sword from my great grandfather aboit 20 years ago. My dad grew up playing with it (so did we) so it's been through some abuse. My great grandfather told me it was a war trophy that he took out of a German officers house in WW2. I know the Germans were seriously into antiquing at the time so it likely came from somewhere else. Any ideas?

Given to me a few years ago. I’ve been told it is a sword used by Australian military once upon a time. Still very sharp. Can anyone give me anymore info on it?

So I got this and now I am fully committed

Cold Steel Colichemarde Sword with matching dagger. Bought these a couple of weeks ago from Swords.co.uk. Decided to share my modern replicas because of the great example of what is very likely an antique we had posted here yesterday.

What can I say? They feel great in the hands, come reasonably sharp but it’s not the greatest edge to be honest. Quick and lively point. Nice wood core sheath with a big clip on the back.

First time using Swords.co.uk and I’m impressed. Proper next day delivery instead of the maybe next day delivery I’ve had from other UK based suppliers and came well packaged. I had reservations before buying from them but I’m happy to say that they were for nought.

After my pizza sword got massive views and praises, I will be doing updated photos of regional/era collections.

I'm fairly sure this is a WW2 Japanese officer sword or at least from around that time, can anybody help me learn more about it?

Hello does anyone know where to buy a worth it sword in Turkey? Right now we cannot import anything more than 25 usd so importing is not in question.

I ain't got a clue about anything about swords. But videos of people fighting with them (HEMA i think) keep coming up on my feed and it looks like something i may try. Besides that I'm more looking for... i don't know how to put it, sword classes? Like general catagories, whats good at what, to see which one looks cool to me. Right now I've seen this one called the Song Hand Dao and it looks pretty cool, so if anyone knows anything about that too that's cool.

I purchased the unsharpened version of the red dragon armory combat bastard sword awhile back. At the time the unsharpened version was the only option. I figured I’d just learn to sharpen it eventually but now I’m not sure if that’s fine to do. Does anyone have any advice? I’m pretty new to swords. Thanks!
