Ah, swords. I love 'em. I feel complete now that I have finally obtained a rapier. I already have a basket hilted Scottish style broadsword (made by Tim Harris in Melbourne), a two-handed sword (which is a bit heavy, but is still nice and is a good general non-specific style of two-handed sword), a very long and mean looking sabre (made by the great Quarf) and now a cheap but nice Hanwei 43inch rapier. I also have some other swords, but I don't use them so I don't really count them. One of them is my first sword which developed a crack across it and cannot be used or else it will break. Another is a really heavy and very short sword that was so bad it was given to me! I need to reduce the weight of it by 50% to make it usable, but I will give it a go since it will make a nice gladius or similar.

There is no point to this post, save for my joy at having a rapier. I am not very good with them, yet, but I realise that there is a gap in my sword skills and now I can fill it.
