In the mean time here is the one from David DelaGardelle:
http://cedarloreforge.com/2012/03/04/osberts-sword/ The sword is the epitome of the craft, imho. For its size, shape, and function... It's flawless, truly. It moves and changes direction in a snap, it cuts as if it's blade heavy (which it is not), it has a large and forgiving "sweet spot", and the small details in the weapon (which are somewhat lost to the pictures) really really make you love it. I realize the look of the thing may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I do not doubt at all... ::grin:: If you held it? If you cut with it? You'd want one just like it. God, I love this sword. |
It is a beautiful weapon. I think the linen scabbard idea is great too, although I would have put a simple chape to protect the bottom of the scabbard.
Several years ago, I sold my Albion Crecy. I started regretting that decision, so this year I bought a new one, with blackened fittings and oxblood grip.
