My new Coustille

[Sir Ulrich]

Got it in the mail earlier, I like it. I did expect it to be a bit smaller, I was expecting a dagger but this things almost the size of a shortsword. I used scotch brite pad to remove the "made in india" stuff on the blade. It's not even sharp and it goes through boxes so easily with the thrust, can only imagine how it will be when it is sharpened. I do however plan to get it regripped, the scabbard just needs a belt loop so I may send it to crusader monk to do that for me. Overall I am satisfied.

[Sir Edward]

Nice! How long is the blade in inches?

BTW, if you're worried about scratching the surface when taking off those stickers, you can also use acetone or rubbing alcohol to dissolve the sticky stuff and it'll come right off.

[Sir William]

I've got one of these, handy little bugger, isn't it?  Good idea of getting Jon to hook it up; he can probably do it as a rider on a current rig- just get him to stitch a frog around it that can loop to an existing belt.  Or better yet- have him make a separate belt or baldric for it.

[Sir Ulrich]

It's about 22 and 1/2 inches. I like how it feels generally, but I need something so I can attach it to the belt, and not a frog. Maybe I will just punch some holes in the leather and tie it to the belt like I did my eating knife.
