Brother Adam Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I am looking for a real sword for Religious Education this year (our theme is Sword of the Spirit). Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy one and how much to pay? I don't want a 'ninja' sword, more of a knights sword and something that comes with a wall mount. I'd like something of decently high quality. You know, like Kohl's or Sears instead of Walmart, but not exactly 'designer'. Also, if it was a replica of a sword used by a Catholic that would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone _ Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 These guys should be able and willing to help: [url="http://www.sca.org/"]http://www.sca.org/[/url] A local member may even be willing to loan out a sword so you don't have to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 This would probably be a good place: [url="http://www.michrenfest.com/"]http://www.michrenfest.com/[/url] The Renaissance Festival here in Texas always has a lot of places to buy swords from different vendors and craftsmen--and the coolest thing is watching them actually make them.

Maximilianus Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) The swords in the links you posted are historically incaccurate, they look like psuedo-historical Freemason jobs. Eww. If you want to go fantasy [url="http://www.weaponmasters.com/shopping/The-Sword-of-Strider-p-17284.html"]THIS[/url] is what you need If you don't approve just check out the medieval sword section. There are some decent quality battle ready swords, sans displays though. If you really want a nice blade [url="http://www.albion-swords.com/"]http://www.albion-swords.com/[/url] and [url="http://www.christianfletcher.com/Christian_Fletcher/Welcome.html"]Christian Fletcher [/url]are nice, of course the prices are higher.

Brother Adam Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thank you. These are the types of recommendations I need. What is the difference between a $69 sword and a $179 sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example a cheaper sword might have a synthetic wrapping on the handle, and an expensive one would be leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
