Huzzah! Just in time to make you wait all weekend and excruciatingly long days every day next week sitting at work to wonder if it's at your house yet or not. :)

Yeah, isn't that always how it goes?

Actually, every once in a while I luck out. When I was waiting for one of my Albion+Scabbard combos to show up, and wanted to use it for VARF, it showed up on Friday at 5pm, literally the day before I needed it. Whew.

New toy is on the bottom of the pic below (clicky for larger view).

Yay! It's a beast, but handles great. I put the "Chopper" and Albion Knight in there for scale. It's maybe 3/8" shy of being 4.5 feet in length. It's awesome!

Awesome! I thought it was going to have the points like the top one. Very sleek design. At 4.5 feet, that's intimidating! The Knight looks so tiny in comparison.

I suppose if you haven't seen the newspaper article I posted on FB regarding delivery, it won't be as funny now.

That thing would be devastating in the cut.  Can you imagine??  Brings some of the more gruesome Mac Bible images to mind for sure!

I did, after it got here. :)

This thing would be frightening to have swung at you. It's massive, but moves like a sword.

I can't wait to get some pictures in kit. Ideally I'd want to do that outside, and the weather isn't cooperative at the moment. So it may have to wait.

But yeah, no points on it. Kat thought the same thing. But here's the image I sent to A&A:

 :D Nifty! I want one... and a straight-ish Rhomphaia like the one's used in Byzantium.

Well, serves me right for forgetting about the picture on the first page of the thread. The style like you had at DoK is the one stuck in my head, from this original image (guy swinging above the one in blue on the left getting speared)



If you zoom in, you can see the multi-pointed blade just like the first one you have. But man the blade on the A&A one is almost twice as long; wouldn't want to see that in a dark alley!

Huzzah and congratulations! That's a real beauty! Would it be uncouth of me to state I admire your weapon and want to handle it?  :)

No more so than some prior interactions of similar statement.. and I'd have to echo your request as well!

Agreed. Awesome aquisition Sir Ed, a true beast. I would find myself wanting to void anything coming from that monster!  :)

On horseback or foot I imagine that thing to be pretty brutal; in fact I'd probably choose that as my main weapon and then switch to a backup if it became necessary.  Or shorten the handle and get a real nasty piece of falchion going there.  I really like that...no mistaking what its for.
