Sir William:
Ok...I'm guessing the cutting up the blade part is so it isn't a sword anymore...otherwise I'd just drill holes with the sword in the scabbard and either bolt or rivet it into place after epoxying the whole assembly.  Now that I think of it, the blade is so thick, I may want to be rid of some of it to lighten the overall load.

Sir Edward:

Bolting through the sword and scabbard is an idea we talked about over here as well. That's what my brother-in-law plans to do.

Or possibly riveting it, which could serve as some minor decoration and wouldn't look out of period.

Sir Edward:

True, but he wanted the bolt to be removable so he could unsheath it when not at faire.

Sir William:
Why would he want to do that?  Its more or less damaged goods right?  Or does his sword already have cut-outs?
