Scottish National dress
Kilt etc,
the Sgian Dubh is the knife worn in the righthand sock when wearing a kilt it is the Last defence for atrue scotsman.
The name means Black dagger, black meaning hidden.
It was originaly worn hidden in the sock but now is worn with the top inch showing.
For more historical view point please google.
and Yes I am a Scottish and Yes I wear a kilt.
And the answer is "nothing!"

OH Sorry everyone but I've been such a dolt....
In listing all my Blades I forgot which is damn stupid of me as I was wearing one at the time and come to that wearing one now.
I have a collection of Sgian Dubh's
3 x Roe Buck handel
2 x Polished wood handel
1 x Leather Wrapped
and my favorite
1 x Fire Blackened Blade with a Black Oak Handel.
I really don't know how I could have forgot these but DOH! |

So just where is everyone looking when buying swords? Someone here had the bright idea to send me a catalogue, and so I bought something and now they won't leave me alone. But they don't have anything as tempting as Twinkle and Icingdeath. Although if they did, I'd surely be doomed to not eat for weeks because I spent my food budget... |

Posted - 01 Nov 2006 : 22:31:08
ive considered purchasing twinkle and icingdeath many times too but i never do...i just think about and get real close but then back out and never end up buying them... |

I know what you mean about scimitars, I have always liked the 2e version of the fencing sabre which is, in the 3.5e in the scimitar group of blades. I have been tempted a few times to buy the Drizzt Scimitar set but I have always balked at the last second and gone for a REAL blade rarther than a fantasy blade (most of the time). |

*Shifty eyes*
so where do you live exactly again GothicDan? lol just kidding
I would love to have some swords but ..... maybe later
I like the scimitar but personally in game i alway think of Drizzit and decided to take another weapon I love the axe though (probabbly because i am a dwarven fan)

Genis,
Yes, Museum Replicas has a website. It is www.museumreplicas.com they are a division of Atlanta Cutlery. Fifteen years ago their weapons were top quality and authentic. The prices were not horrible either. Now, I feel that the quality of some of their pieces has slid downhill. Although the pole-axe I just received from them is impeccable. Check them out. An anelace is a sword that length-wise is in between a long dagger and a short sword. It is similar to-and may be a fore-runner of the italian Cinquedea, or "five-finger blade". For fun, you can also check out a company called Del Tin from Italy. Nice stuff, very expensive... |

I have a sword obsession that runs pretty deep in the family; my mum had a collection that got stolen some time ago. I have swords hanging on my walls as often as I can, though. Cheap swords, yes, but they're right up there with trashed books with ruined covers and ripped pages, which I'll take a steady died of(obviously, my job doesn't pay much; I get the smallest share of the loot. *sighs melodramatically* Alas, I make up for it by not attempting to mantain my sanity.) Right now I have a miniature saber, which I named Lion's Gem(yes, I NAME my swords, and they ALL have magical enchantments! Lion's Gem is a pretty sucky weopon, though; it's not even +1...), a 19th century European rapier called Silverthorn(+4), a cutlass named Sparrow(+2), and a dagger that has no purpose whatsoever, it's just pretty. I named it "Dagger With No Name". It has personal relations with the Man With No Name, you see, although I'm not sure the time eras are appropriate... |

Execellent!!! i am firmilliar with all of those except the anelace?...i have links to many websites that i frequently visit such as cold steel and other such companys....does museum rplicas have a website and would you be kind enough to give me the link? yeah....ive built some wooden shields here and there but i want to find a well made one somewhere....and i agree the quality and authentisity of a lot of the swords you can find is so little....and you cant find anything leather that looks or feels as it should...its all so fake and plasticy...and maybe im picky but a lot of swords dont meet up to my expectation on...quality...they never seem real enough....but one in a while you come by some that are....and im sure you agree when i say battle ready full tang is almost the only way to go |

Hello,
If I may be allowed to weigh in: First let me say that the swords and medieval weapons offered by Museum Replicas used to be great weapons for the money, their quality has slipped a little here recently. Almost all of my swords come from them. I have been collecting for fifteen years now, whenever I could scrape together enough money to buy one. So far I have a medieval short sword (my best sword)a grosse messer, (think two-handed falchion) a falchion, a flanged mace, an anelace (which is really disappointing)a german bastard sword, a sword-hilted dagger, a 1917 cutlass from Cold Steel, (excellent, but their prices have gone through the roof)a Cold Steel assegai spear, riflemans hawk (tomahawk) and a warhammer that Cold Steel makes that is awesome, and very affordable! I also have a Kite Shield that my father and I made many moons ago, very nice really, for a do-it-yourself project. Finally, my latest acquisition is another Museum Replicas piece that has almost restored their reputation in my eyes; a pole axe that they started offering about a year ago. This piece is great! of course I had to wait six months for the back-order...
Anyway, all of this to say that I love medieval weapons! There is nothing like being able to handle and swing a well-made replica sword... |

In Lord of the Rings, the elven warriors had swords where the hilts were as long as the blades. Is there a D&D equilavent? That blade had a cool look to it. |

Let's see, I've got a greatsword, a longsword, a greataxe, a battleaxe, a flail, a kukri, a club, a crossbow, and a dagger. I've got many more weapons, but those are the ones from the PHB. One of the guys in my group is a welder and he's been making some really cool maces, I'm trying to get him to make one for me. |
