My sword? Don't think it is particularly remarkable - very swordy. It is engraved though.rjsterry said:

I guess if there's a terrorist attack and you're going at em?
Another reason might be it goes with some ceremonial army outfit which you need to wear to a wedding.

I think it would be double, but at the moment it's probably zero edged.rjsterry said:

The one thing you can say about a trebuchet is that you would definitely see it coming.MattFalle said:

My grandfather had accumulated a selection of weaponry from across various bits of Africa and the Middle East but not sure what happened to them after we cleared the house. I have inherited a pair of Ashanti stools and some other trinkets though.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Didn't my description of it as "swordy" give away my level of expertise? Definitely a reproduction.rjsterry said:

My Dad has a Fijian war axe that he inherited with the rest of the contents of the house. It has notches in the blade which are apparently from the intended use.rjsterry said:

Like this but with elaborate engravings.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Google says the sword was a Kaskara, which would fit without I think my great greatgrandfather's military career (Sudan, West Africa and the Boer War)1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Saucisson is where it's at. Nothing says NOW we're on holiday like slicing a saucisson with an opinel knife in an alpine meadow that's for sure...
Exact !
A baguette, some blue cheese, tomato, some paté, and my opinel, and that's elevenses sorted at least...

Maybe "Me, my Opinel and my sandwich" might be a photo theme for me this summer.
And yes, they are absolutely ubiquitous there... supermarket checkouts, on market stalls, etc. And yes, the blade is fantastic, though I did make the mistake, buying my first one, of choosing (carelessly) the non-stainless version... although it gets a superb edge, it rusts if it just sees a drop of water within 50m.
Also, annoyingly, one of mine only has the locking mechanism for when the blade is open: as there's no spring, it's possible for the closed blade's tip to edge out and catch in things, and you really don't want a razor-sharp pointy blade sticking into your leg. Well, maybe you do, but that's probably not a subject for a family forum.0 -
