Hey Swordy,

That's cool... I am fairly creative when I want to be and always thought I'd really like to make them too. If you get really good at it, you can make a whole lot of money, too, although first and foremost would be that I think I'd just really love doing it.

So what's in your collection? I have a few nice ones and several cheap ones (which actually tend to hold up better), and would really like to get some historical ones. My dream would be to get my hands on a Prussian saber with the regiment markings of the Benkendorf regiment (1700-1702 Livland-Courland campaign). I am of Prussian descent and my last name is Benkendorf.
