And what did you son goes as...your squire !?
Toledo, Spain is world famous for their steel and sword making...arming Europe for centuries !!
That sword has got to weight at least 7-8 pounds and probably cost almost $500. I would also like to see a review of the dirk and helmet...with more pics of each. ( please & thanks...rep sent )

OK...History time:
Jacob I (1394-1437) ..."The Lion of Scotland"... crowned King in 1424 in Scone.
Jacob I brought a system of weights and measures to Scotland and fought to limit the powers of the feudal lords that served him. Due to a conspiracy, he was assassinated by Sir Robert Graham in 1437.

does the spike not interfere with use of the gut hook?ImAShrimp said:Saltmarsh, that is an amazing looking knife. I've never seen one like that from that time period. A nice piece indeed.
And Rossignol, since you asked for it:
Here is a blade I made a few years back from some scrap 1/8" hardened stainless steel. I hand-wrapped the grip with 550 cord. Its not very practical, but its a fun piece to have. Its very sharp and nicely front-end weighted. I would not want to be on the receiving end of it for sure. lol
