Can we get a sword sub forum. I know I'm not the only one who likes the big steel.

No, you're not alone, they are the "final word" in defense. You're still in the game as long as you have one...........

SingleAction357,

I don't have a problem making a sub forum for swords. I have a real one and like it.

I'll tell you what. Depending how many swords you have, post about them. If we get responses, I can make a sub forum. I'll even take the time to post mine.

I have a Civil War Union Navy Officer's sword that belonged to an ancestor of my wife who lived in Gloucester, MA. The scabbard is badly damaged (broken into three parts), but the sword itself is in good condition with the exception of the braided rope on the hilt, which is no longer attached to the pommel. I'd love to know if it should be left alone or restored; and if it can be restored, who does that sort of work.

Personally I don't see much reason not to restore sabers, they were mass produced and are still easy to find at good prices as a result. My buddy Wes Beem of Lonely Wolf Forge is rather good at that sort of thing. Here's a link to his site. He mostly deals in full customs but I bet he could polish your blade up.

I don't know if you are familiar with the Smoky Mountain Knife Works .. :?: .. it is located just off of I-40 in Sevierville, TN, TN exit 407 .... if you like blades and most anything else, its well worth a visit if/when you happen to be in the area

so far as swords go, this link ===> https://www.smkw.com/knives/fixed-blade-knives/swords <==== gives a pretty good example of what they have in stock

I would purpose this, the subforums in knives rather than being divided by company as they are currently should be divided into folding knives, fixed blade knives, swords, and axes/hatchets/tomahawks. I think this will make for better organization and greater ease of finding what you're looking for in here.
