Oh ya, speaking of big nasty dogs, I can’t believe that bluetick was so mean. I had a black and tan, but I’ve never seen a sweeter dog heh.
This story of a guy grabbing a legend of zelda sword just makes me sad. Who would waste money on a replica sword from a kid’s video game?
If I had to guess, I bet the dog had a tick disease and it affected him neurologically.
He was nuts.
He even attacked the Bluetick bitch who lived with him, one day.
I had to go in and pull him off of her.
Ripped her ear leather something awful.
And yeah, replica swords are a joke.
Repros are better, if you have to have something “like that”.
:)
Most of my swords functionally decorative.
The one I would “use”, if I had nothing else handy, was hand made by a former Army Special Forces Master Sergeant friend of ours.
[sadly, now deceased]
He was half Irish and half Nez Perce and a wizard at making weapons.
He also knapped me a really nice mahogany obsidian dagger.
Viciously sharp thing.
