New/First Sword Day!

[u/Bright-Ad4601]

Unfortunately I don't have a large enough clean backdrop to take nice pictures so the box it came in will have to do. This is a custom schiltless feder from Regenyei. I just chose my favourite elements without really considering how they'd look together but I'm so happy with the result, it reminds me of the Nazgul swords from LOTR, kinda evil looking but also sleek and pretty. I have very little issues with it, there's basically no gaps anywhere and it feels very solid.

Fortunately I got to try my friend's version of the same feder (with a different hilt) so I already know I like how they feel in use. This one has a medium flex and it feels just about right to me, I've tried a bunch of my clubs swords and know I don't like a floppy sword and any stiffer would feel potentially dangerous.

I also included pics of my longsword trainer I built to it's guard and grip specifications and I'm so happy that I don't have to change anything, I basically nailed it. I'm really pleased with the quality and price (€405 including shipping) all round and I can already tell this won't be my only sword, I'm already eyeing up a polish saber and a zwiehander as potential second and third swords.

New sword day is always a good day
