Screw on pommel help.
Chuck G.:
Rather narrow tang. Would take a lot to make it a truly serviceable sword. Not impossible, but definately some work.
Sir Nate:
Maybe I should just start saving for an Albion. 75 bucks. Not a huge loss.

If you're genuinely interested in replacing that sword (which I would recommend if you want to be able to use it, that sword's tang isn't really safe to swing or cut with), you don't need to necessarily go for an Albion the first time out of the gate. Let us know and we can guide you pretty well to get a very serviceable and safe sword for significantly less money than an Albion. If you do want to go for the Albion, then by all means, have at it!
Sir Patrick:
Yeah that tang is pretty thin. If you fix the pommel problem, just use it as a wall-hanger. On the subject of tangs, another thing you may come across with lower-end swords is a tang that is nothing more than a bit of metal welded to the blade. These are referred to as "rat tail tangs" and are highly dangerous as they tend to snap under even the low strain of merely swinging the sword (sending the blade flying off into space and at anyone in that direction).
Sir Nate:
this tang is part of the sword. not welded. But just pm me some links to other sword sites other than albion. Cause I was looking at the knightly 13th century sword under squire line swords. But do please send me links. Id love to get a better sword soon.
