Hi all,

I have a sword with an unevenly sharpened blade which I would like to get corrected before I see how it cuts. Does anyone know someone in the Glasgow area who can provide a sharpening service?

Thanks!

Hi,
You could try Armour Class in Glasgow, they manufacture and sell sharps as well as reenactment blunts so they must have or have access to sharpening facilities. Hope this is of some use.

Do you refer to Glasgow, Scotland? You might check with Armour Class...I'm pretty sure they could do it, or at least turn you to someone that can. :) .....McM

Ahhgg.....You type fast, Norman! :lol: .....McM

Hi Mark,
As they say: Two Heads are Better than One. :cool: ;) :)

Norman.

Thanks, they completely slipped my mind. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they'll sharpen another maker's sword.

Thanks for the advice guys, Armour Class were extremely helpful, sharpening my sword while I waited!

Unfortunately, as I left the shop to get my cab, someone decided to call the police to report a man with a sword. The police came by my place later (I guess they got the address from the cab company), were very friendly, but ended up confiscating the sword until everything is cleared up. I guess I triggered someone who has too much time on their hands.

The lesson to be learned is completely hide your sword from sight (difficult with a two-hander), even if you're only in view for 3 minutes.

Completely off-topic, and just FYI: I once carried a disassembled H/T longsword in a cardboard mailing tube on a bus trip. No one gave it a second glance. :lol: ......McM
