Lady Vivamus recreation for sale
 

Available here. I'd love to have one, but the price is out of my league.

It's probably too much to say the everyone worth knowing already knows of the Lady Vivamus. It's a near thing, though.

What would you do with it? Hang it on the wall?

Yeah, 'cause everyone worth knowing hangs out at renaissance faires...

Fnerrrr...

I knew what she was; didn't know she was for sale.

:p:

... ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side ...

Unfortunately, yes. I never learned to fence.

Yet another reason that I don't really need it.

Albion has a very good reputation for working swords; you can hit stuff with them, where, when, and how hard you want to. If they want to build a Lady Vivamus, more power to them.

You can get cheaper crosshilt medieval-type rather than 18th-c. type swords from those people that will hold up, and fly well in the hand. There are few experiences like one that does. Too many long blades out there lack the secondary, distal taper (in thickness) which lacking is likely to make the sword heavy and logy in the hand.

Here's one of the more-affordables, at $800.00. Oakeshott Type X family, eleventh through maybe thirteenth centuries. Broad single fullers to the blades are an early feature in European swords. Non- and narrow-fullered blades came later.

If Tester-San were actively testing, he would get one.

Speaking of which, anybody need an experienced software tester?
