Concerns about my longsword

[fisadev]

A happy update: in a dark unknown corner of the internet, a friend of mine found another argentinian blacksmith who builds quite better swords, I would even suggest they are as beautiful and well finished as any Albion. I already contacted him, I'm awaiting for prices information, and I'll try my best to get one. Finally an historically accurate and beautiful sword is in my grasp

Happy indeed! He seems to be a fine sword-maker - I particularly like the Germanic spatha. Now we will all be wondering how to import swords from Argentina!

Phew ! You can tell the other guy to give the sword back to Aragorn. (For everyone has spotted that it simply is a copy of the sword model in LOTR, done with aluminum fittings, yes ?)

Yes.

I wanted to share my happiness (an update on this topic): I finally got a good longsword!

A friend of mine some time ago found a blacksmith who does very nice work, and put me in contact with him. He agreed to make a longsword about 2 months ago. It was his first longsword (he mostly did smaller pieces before), but I was confident in his skills. Last friday I finally got it, and it's beautiful
