[quote=""Steel Servant""]Congratulations Rev. I have to admit, I broke down and bought it a couple of months ago myself. Overall I am happy with it, but the handle does leave you with reservations. I guess its a hate it or just keep scratching you head about it sort of thing, but not totally love it.
My feelings about the plaque differ. I hate the plaque. I think it looks cheesy. But, I make my own plaques and prefer a large display vs. the small plaque, so that gives me a different view point. I hope to one day make a nice display, but since it has been over 100 degrees here for 40 days straight, I have not been motivated to go into the hot garage and do wood work.
I also purchased the leather scabbard/belt/pouch rig, which is very well done.
I have to admit that MR's daily deals are killing my budget. I got the Robin Hood sword for half off, then they had the Sir Godfrey sword for half off and I got it. I like it even more that the Robin Hood. Then last week they put the sword of King John on at half price. It is to be delivered today. I hate it when I go off and spend money on something lower in my wish list because I find a great deal on it, putting the items on the top of the wish list that much farther away.
I purchased all of them sharpened, and boy are they ever. I've cut fingers on each one of them. But, I hate all of the plaques.[/quote]
hmm I find myself strangely drawn to the robin hood sword, along with Godfrey's sword. I think i'll go with the robin sword if I decide to get one, mainly because I can't find a store over here in the UK who stocks any of the other swords in the line
I do like the handle on the sword, and the motto is cool
I'll have to see though. any chance of pics of the robin sword with the belt and scabbard?
