The grass will never get that high.  I hope.  LOL 

Altho the idea of practicing cuts on the lawn is appealing...if for no other reason than to cause some consternation amongst my new neighbors.  :)

If the grass gets aggressive enough that you need a sword, I think I'd want to move. It shouldn't behave like it's possessed by an elder god. :)

Then again, I heard a quote once which I think seems fitting. To paraphrase... Even mundane tasks such as scrubbing a toilet would seem heroic when set to the theme music of Conan. So crank up that stereo and get to chopping! :)

Here’s your solution.  You can purchase a blade(s), “swing” them through your grass, get good practice with blade sharpening, get exercise, and have enough bread left over to start a good Albion fund.  ;D

LOL

That's a good one...I just watched the new version...I gotta say, for me, Jason Momoa embodied the spirit (and physicality) of the Cimmerian in a way Ah-nuld never could.  The music was good too.

Lord Rodney...I think I'm gonna do both...

Somehow I've missed this one. Apparently Bill has attempted to sell it off and on over nearly three years?

http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=17109&highlight=

He last dropped the price to $575 for the sword and scabbard. It's not a true Albion, it's an Angus Trim blade with Albion hilt furniture. AT blades are pretty good, IMHO. This is a pretty good deal.

It looks like he took the sale offer down though.

I saw that one...I got enough similar swords that I didn't want another.  Would've been a nice pickup but I'm wanting/needing a bastard/longsword as the only one I did have I got rid of.  Well, I have a H/T but I want an Albion Crecy all of a sudden.  lol

I think one of the sticking points for some, I know at least for me, is that it is heavily used; and you're right, Atrim blades aren't just good, they're really good!

Nice, so many temptations!

Personally, I'm not buying any more Albions at least until I get the one that I still have on order. :)

My Arn's a better sword (in my not at all humble op lol) - got enough single handers for now too.  I'll admit, at one point I really, really wanted that one...would've gotten it too but I saw the Arn and fell head over heels so I went with that instead.

I never did a photo spread of it have I?  So many things I need to take pics of.

I vaguely recall you had some pictures as your signature line on here before, with the new scabbard, but my memory is a bit fuzzy on it.

Huh...but no uber sexy profile shots and the like.  I'm not much of a cameraman I'll grant you...what I see thru the lens for some reason does not translate into the picture it would seem.  Hence why I normally am lax about taking them.  lol

I'll give you some tips:  If you can take pictures outside on an overcast day, the lighting will be best. But barring that, if you're going to shoot indoors, turn on all the lights in the room first, and turn off the flash on the camera. Make sure you hold the camera really still since non-flash shots have a longer exposure time indoors. Take the shot 2 or 3 times to be sure you get one that's not blurred.

If you can do all that, I'll be happy to fix contrast and the like on a few of them for you.
