David,

I know that you like swords and knives. I came across this website in
another newsgroup in a thread that discussed certain swords associated
with their family history.

http://www.armor.com/

They make replicas of historical swords, daggers, polearms, etc. I
particularly liked the polearms and custom swords. Again, all of these
weapons based on real historical designs. Expensive, but much cheaper
than an original.

Nah. Not interested. One of the things I like about edged weapons is
functionality, and while replicas are nice to look at, you can't really DO
anything with them. They're usually designed to LOOK like the original, not
FUNCTION like them.

Nice wall decorations, though 🙂

My Batleth is not sharpened yet, but it's in the plans. ;-)

And yes, it looks very nice on the wall.......

If your batleth is made of the same crappy steel as most reproductions, good
luck in sharpening it.

You need to get an original, but, postage from the Home World is a bit
steep.

Isn't that just the most silly acronym?

I have never in all my life seen anyone in a read something, or hear
something, and respond by throwing themselves on the floor and laugh
until their silly bum falls off.

Hugz! ;o)

If it's made of decent steel, you should NOT use a shop wheel. You can
easily ruin the temper. Better to use a natural or ceramic sharpening stone,
and just work slowly.

Like the Klingons do it.

That'd be good for the forearm muscles....... <G>

The edge on this one is totally rounded tho'. It was made to comply with
a sci-fi convention for dulled blades. I need to study up on knife
making to see how to at least start it before final honing.

Maybe a diamond file?

Or in your case, a large electric butt plug.
