Welcome to the forums Sam!

Sounds like you've been following the dream that a lot of sword collectors have. I hope you keep following it as well :)

As for your question about swords, we are all pretty much divided on preferences of functional and display swords. I own one of each and I love both of them.

As always, if you have any questions about the forums, feel free to ask myself or one of the moderators.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum. :)
For my part I would prefer something functional to something decorative. There's something I like about understanding the potential for a particular sword. If it's just a wallhanger, then I know that potential isn't really there. I suppose there's something to be said for the aesthetic value of some wallhangers (like the LOTR swords), but I think all swords have a certain inherent beauty regardless of their decoration.

Welcome Sam. Sounds like you have a great craft there. I took a course at UofH on metal smithing and forged one sword and one dagger. We worked with other items besides blades as well. That is the extent of where I went with it. They both took quite a length of time to complete. I was happy with my endeavors but the time and labor that goes into one handmade sword is too extensive.

Are you a collector of UC LOTR blades/gear?
