I can has sword?
Jul. 11th, 2008 03:09 pmNo I still don't have my own sword. Yes I am still practicing with my mentor's sword but...it isn't really me. and I want one of my own.
I was sending an email to a friend....and making a list of all the swords I had been looking at online...
I went over to Kult of Athena's website and discover that the Cas Iberia is marked down. to $140. (with $30 shipping to Canada.)
Now ... this is not really the sword that I wanted
I wanted something like this... Dragon Scimitar - KofA out of stock or this
Balanced Scimitar -Fire by Riz - which oddly enough looks identical to the above (in April I was told this was out of stock)
or there's always Kittie Sparkle - also out of stock.
I went and looked at a Moorish Scimitar at the Essex Fun Fest ... but he's asking $90 (although KofA wants...$40 for it) -so not terrible, no shipping, I get to try it and hey he's got to make a living too. It balanced all right - had a leather sheath but pain it the < blank > to get it in and out.... but I'm thinking if I'm going to plunk down $90 on a scimitar style... why not the Cas Iberia?
**edit to add**
well I just emailed Riz to inquire about availability. If it continues to be on back order I may just get the Cas Iberia.
***MORE to add**
Tentative decision. I'm going to head down for another look at the Moorish sword at the local faire. I'll have DH take a picture of it on my head. If I like the way it looks - proportional to the rest of my body etc. I'll buy it. It is a nice looking sword and no worries about shipping, customs, delays, out of stock etc. etc.
