Own a Stormbringer Sword?

[extreme_one]

I am writing for the first time so Hello to everyone!!!

Does anyone here own a Stormbringer made by Ravon Armoury? Custom made?
I am thinking of buying one... The waiting time is 3 years :)

I'd only buy one if it REALLY sucked souls.

Think you'd fare better than Elric then, DeepFixer? :twisted: If you find one, let me know how it goes for you.

Oh, yeah.

Elric got bad advice.

I'd only listen to my cat. She'd never steer me wrong.

I don't think . . .

I keep mine in the broom cupboard so that it can't get out and kill the cat...
True.

Should add that it's a brilliantly balanced and beautiful WOMD... Which is why I'm scared of it accidentally killing the cat...

Well it certainly is a curiosity...

WOMD?

Weapon of moggie destruction?

Stormbringer would be pretty cool.

I would rather have a real Eye of Rynn and the Hand of Kwll so I could summon allies from Limbo! hahaha. :)

[Michael Moorcock]

Don't you have to kill some of them FIRST ?

Cats are intelligent about such things (unlike some people).

When I get my daito out to practice sword forms, the cats recognize what is coming and do the usual disappearing act.

Have you ever tried to do a sword kata in a crowded living room? The kata must be "adjusted" constantly unless one wishes to incur reupholstery costs. :lol:

Good to hear that the Stormbringer replica is so well-designed.

It's huge and you can fence with it, it's so well-balanced. They offered to sharpen it for me, but I declined. Bad enough with the sharp tip. A masterpiece, I must say. I understand about the furniture, too. I learned my less early after returning with my friend Brian Alford from Prisoner of Zenda. We broke my mum's best antique chair and did the classic thing of sawing the legs down in the hope it wouldn't show.
Since it was about half the height it had been when she went out that morning, she did sort of notice... I still remember that evening. If you ever want to know where I got the idea of how to unleash the forces of Chaos... :)

Not sharpening it is probably a good idea, unless you choose to use it to make kindling. The swords I ordinarily use for katas aren't sharpened. The ones used for tameshigiri (practice cutting) demonstratations have to be sharp, but one handles the sword in those cases with considerable respect and care.

If I ever handle a Stormbringer replica, I'll try a kata with it. I've done them with authentic claymores, so I can make the necessary adjustments to a non-Japanese sword. (The biggest adjustment is the weight. Japanese swords are remarkably light for their length.)

It's a bit pricey unless one is a serious collector. I am not. My swords are all for martial arts (European and Asian). That's not really "practical," I understand, but at least I can make a justification (however lame) for the monetary outlay. "Sword acquisition syndrome," much like "guitar acquisition syndrome," is an expensive disorder. :lol:

Any cat worth their whiskers could easily handle a Runeblade.

Just keep the cupboard door locked so the cat can't get at the blade.

A Cat of Mass Destruction would be too horrible to imagine! 8O

Not sharpened? Kinda defeats the purpose of a sword, dunnit? I know they're for Display Purposes, but still . . .
