no Sir Edward prefers to set sharp toys in stairways so when he runs down them he likes to try and cut off his toes ;)

No, that just applies to Klingon weapons, not all sharps. :)

Yeah, sharp and/or heavy objects over places people will be, and are likely to bump them or the wall that they're on, makes be very nervous. What's worse is that people have an instinct to try to catch expensive things when they start to fall, so I make a point of telling people "It's a sword, it will be fine. However, you will not. Just get out of the way if it falls."

Very true, the solution for that problem is catch it or pick it up with gloved hands.

Sharp albions will make quick work of a glove :)

The big problem is nobody is gloved up and "plans" to drop a sword. That's the time to worry and fight your reflexes / instincts - unless you're the 6-fingered man from Princess Bride. And even then, you only want to do it once. ;)

True, lesson is this:  pick up the sword after it has fallen  ;)

Chances are the sword will be fine, especially in a normal house with drywall, wood, and carpet. If it's falling onto stone, that might be different. But it's often easier to fix a sword than to fix a person.

Let it fall. Always.

Well, I guess the new prices are now in effect. I haven't looked to see what the damage is. :)

The real damage is now they should be COMPLETELY out of my price range until after college......  :P

That just means you'll have something to look forward to, Sir Nathan...barring the odd bargain that happens along from time to time on myArmoury or SFI.  Or SBG.
