This took me 5 minutes and $30 at Home Depot to assemble. If you want to DIY, get yourself:
- 1 x 2ft section of 1/2" black iron pipe (threaded)
- 1 x 1/2" black iron cap
- 5 x 1/2" black iron plugs
- 1 x 1/2" 6-way cross fitting
- 1 roll of hockey tape
and tighten 'em up with your trusty pliers and/or pipe wrench. An 18" length of pipe might work better for a one-hand-only mace, FYI.
This thing is definitely sturdy and well within historical measurements at 27" in overall length and just under 3lbs in weight. Now it will be my new favorite tool for demo work.
This was an impulse purchase I don't regret making. A very solid, mid-tier European sword that will surely be the bane of many a water bottle in my backyard. It's shorter and more tip-heavy compared to higher end CNC-made swords of it's type, and could be improved out-of-box on finer details like the grip wrap and sharpness, but it's a damn good option if you don't fancy waiting two years for an Albion at double the price (triple for a Baron). I highly recommend if you like two handed swords, especially if you want something shorter and lighter than a Claymore that still has a lot of cutting potential.
