Think I'll go to Grand Central next week and see that sword. Imagine 700 years old...

Thanks for the info.

Well we know that there will not be any field trips to see this sword, it might give the students of NYC schools the idea of lopping off the arms and legs of their fellow students.

Knife crime soars 50% in 4 years (meat cleavers & samurai swords also popular in gun-free Scotland)

Hmmm.

There's a great book called "In Freedom's Cause" about William Wallace and Robert the Bruce with an accurate portrayal written from the perspective of a fictional character. I've read this quite a few times; it's hard to put down. There's now an online version of it here...

Very cool. "Braveheart" is an amazing movie, one of the all-time greats.

"The 6-pound weapon will be returned to its home..."

Wouldn't a 5ft sword be closer to 26lbs than just 6lbs? At 5ft and only 6lbs I can't imagine it would survive very many two handed swipes.

I went to the Wallace Monument when I visited Scotland. I loved it.

New Yorkers are lucky to have the historic sword brought to them.
