Excalibur - impractical or absolutely necessary?

An Angus Trim original is definitely out of my price range! That's cool you have one! Which one? It's funny, he just posted on Facebook a leaf bladed fantasy number like Glamdring and I got that DSA Sage on SBG this afternoon. I'm sure his is a lot better but hey, I'll take what i can get.

I forget the exact typology but I believe mine is a 16 something like a XVI**. I consider it to be similar to an Albion Principe. Wide, flat, cuts well.

What?!? Is that a kydex sheath? Not very historically correct! Odd!

I had it made of course. Lot more practical. Doesn't retain water like wood... and with the 2 parts design I can break it down and clean it out with a rifle cleaning rod and some CLP. Plus all the eyelets give me tons of mounting options. Right now I have a carry handle lashed to it... carries like a small rifle case. I have wood scabbards for my other 2 Euros... but this one is my "Go To".

Everyone needs at least one proper well made sword or maybe 30 or so :)

Yeah, there's different levels... You have one or two swords and it's a conversation piece, after that it's a collection. I'm sort of on the cusp of collection / armory, but I've seen people with private museum level collections bordering on dragon hoard, so you have to find what you're comfortable with. I wanted an assortment of different blade types and time periods, which I have. I've seen a few people with 50 or so JUST Viking migration period swords, and then the other wall has 75 longswords, and that's before you even get to the shield and armor rooms!
