That's a lovely set of blades. I don't collect them but my spouse does, so I appreciate the interest. And the aesthetic.

penkc.bsky.social•120 days ago

Talk about sword collecting?

curtburner.bsky.social•120 days ago

Sweet collection.
I've got only one. It took 3 years to earn and then I drilled with it for the next year.

swordsjew.bsky.social•120 days ago

its beautiful

curtburner.bsky.social•120 days ago

Thank you. Things that you'd never part with.🙂

Did not know you were a tMG fan, awesome, how nuts have the last few years been?

The horsies on the guard are so cool! Also love that you’ve got Glamdring up there too.

Now I need to know about all those swords and also, that makes a great 9? of swords tarot card

jasontorrey.bsky.social•120 days ago

That is so cool. I only have Liquid Swords.

bobdueck.bsky.social•120 days ago

“Lamentations”? I thought you said “Lamingtons”.

bobdueck.bsky.social•120 days ago

I could certainly imagine eating the Lamingtons of my enemies. Sweet revenge!

werewhalewolf.bsky.social•120 days ago

Aw yeah! You did the chow mein sandwich! I created the very first version of its wiki entry. It's my legacy.

swordsjew.bsky.social•120 days ago

iirc it was about its horrible, cthulhu-like properties

werewhalewolf.bsky.social•120 days ago

Yep. Apt description. Great writing.

bitchin' (long time follower). Best sandwich writing available. I say this as a chef and life long sandwich enjoyer.

graciegracex.bsky.social•120 days ago

Awesome. Are they sharp tho? Please fasten them to the wall more securely if they are.

zombie-jazz.bsky.social•120 days ago

goodfaitharguments.bsky.social•120 days ago

I do a lot of classical theatre and wield swords whenever they let me! It’s just the coolest.

That shirt means business!

mxriahjxneb.bsky.social•120 days ago

you’ve been my inspo for wanting to own a sword for YEARS now. I can’t wait to make it a reality someday.

swordsjew.bsky.social•120 days ago

a pretty nice sword not *wildly insanely* expensive (a decent one can be $200-300) and https://battlingblades.com has sales a lot!

mxriahjxneb.bsky.social•120 days ago

ooh i’m bookmarking that sit to peruse tomorrow. I’ve been eyeing the swords at my local renaissance festival but when I actually had the money to get one it was covid times so the festival didn’t happen for a year or two

swordsjew.bsky.social•120 days ago

use code TALIAL for a 10% discount [that gets me store credit to buy more swords] lol

mxriahjxneb.bsky.social•120 days ago
