So the lesson is, always buy swords in multiples, so you're never stuck with only a broken sword ... right? If it's fun for us to get someone to spend money on a sword, it should be, at least, *double* fun to get them to buy 2 or more at once. :)

Heh, that reminds me of a line in the movie Contact, talking about government spending. It went something like this:  "Why build one, when you can get two for twice the price."

true dat..

I'm trying to decide if I want to dye the grip again. It only half-worked. The cord is somewhat hydrophobic, so the dye doesn't sink in very well. I had to practically paint it on.

Could you just re-wrap the grip with your own more 'compliant' cord? :)

Meant to tell you, I liked the new maille you were sporting there, Sir Edward...seemed to sit well on you too.  Sometimes it seems like coifs are only meant to sit on the helmet stand and approximate what a head might look like.  lol
