haha! finaly someone who understands what its all about, swords axes and knifes...not guns! i mean i do spend some time on the firering range, back in the good ol medeival times archers and crossbowmen were the last to eat, the last to sleep andthe hardest working of them all.. for the least respect and money. they were seen as disshonorable dogs, i mean they could take out a distinguished warrior at a distance no problem!
yeah that is an axe, pretty sharp to, im a big collector of sharp things,two time oslo champion of swords, there is nothing like a good swordfight. i guess swords are pretty much what i live for

I was always fascinated by the art of swordplay and fencing. Studied martial arts when I was younger and Japanese sword play. Mostly Kenpo and Arnis. Here in the states fencing is only for the elitists not for the commoners. Skill I would love to learn, must admit I envy you. Its is kind of difficult to learn these skill since here they are considered obsolete. I whole heartedly disagree with that. I do alot of bowhunting-pretty good at that but mine is a compund bow, not a long bow. I cant imagine what it would be like to be standing on a battlefield with 1000s of upon 1000s of arrows coming in on you. That had to be a scary sight. I am also into siege engines, the brilliance behind the building of a trebuce' (spelling?) what an cool thing. Every year they have pumpkin throwing contests around the late harvest and its great to see these things work.
