Get Ice!

Longclaw looks better.

>>33361794
is it high carbon valyrian steel or stainless valyrian steel?

>>33361794

Don't waste your money on novelty swords. For the price of a licensed GOT sword, you can get a sword that's actually functional and semi-collectible from Albion

>>33361794
get a gun.

>>33361945
fpbp, longclaw and oathkeeper both a shit.

.... Yeah don't buy a wall hanger... They are pieces of crap, that feel like shit to hold, will break if you try to use, and look really cheap in person. Try to find a quality reproduction, unfortunately though, with quality comes licensing, meaning normally only really cheap or really high end brands get the license. If it's united cutlery or something like that, it's shit, if it's Albion, it's amazing, but really fucking expensive. Heck there is Darksword Armory, they do not make any GOT swords, but some that would fit in, like pic related. DSA make not so great functional swords, but they are fine for light use, and look amazing if you are just going to hang it.

If you just want a sword, get one from a reputable brand like Valiant Armory, some Hanwies and Windless, Lutel, Albion... Maybe not DSA if you want pure functionality.

This.

And if you really want a movie/tv repro that you can actually use check the movie replica section of KoA. They sell unlicensed, yet "battle ready", LotR weapons.

>>33361794
Get lightbringer instead faggot

>>33363953
Probably stainless.

>>33364301
Damm, I was really looking into the DSA Norman sword seeing as Albions' Norman era swords are almost $1,000.

>>33366439
>stainless steel
>in a sword

No! Bad anon! You need a good high carbon steel. Either 1050-1060 or 5160.

>>33366531
he's just going to hang it on the wall, even with a real blade the dumbass hilts woulds still make the GOT swords too clunky to cut for reals

>>33361794
(((Valyrian)))

>>33366791
True, true. If it were LOTR swords they could still be practical for the most part. I myself have just started a blade collection. Ordered a Cossack Shashka from KOA.

>>33366811
which is better,

spending 100 dollars to get a stainless steel to hang on wall

or

spending 1000 dollars to get a full tang high carbon steel distal tapered heat treated hot peened perfected balanced sword to cut water bottles in the back yard

Spending 1k

Holding something you know is quality is a beautiful and meditative experience. Best to buy one that lines up with your heritage.

1k is like a months saving of you actually have a job.

>>33366886
You honestly don't even need to spend that much. Albion offers swords starting at $600 +tax. The Shashka I ordered is only $400. I will say that someday I do want to get the Albion Knecht II, sure it's $1800 but dat German Grosse Messer doh!

>>33361794
Needle would be the right size for you.

I'll do ya one better, high carbon steel, fully functional Master Swords for $2-$4k.

>>33366531
I'm not even OP. I'm not buying the garbage sword.

>>33367071
Not Valyrian steel you mook

Oathkeeper was reforged from Ice by a non-valarian swordsmith. Valarian steel isn't like other steel and I wouldn't trust anyone other than a valarian to do the work. Pretty sure it's trash brav-shit tier weapon.

>>33366886
Spend that $1000 on a plane ticket to Madrid, you fat flyover fuck.

>>33369481
>Fully functional swords for $2k-4k

It's hilarious to think that maybe 3 or 4 hours of work went into these, with roughly $20 worth of material, and people pay out the goddamn nose for this stuff.

Are swords more profitable than sex toys?

>>33370220
I'd say that smithing requires more of an initial investment, and toymaking requires more material investment. Steel is cheap, all the shit they use to make high-grade sex toys isn't.

>>33367061
nobody honest NEEDS to spend anything on a sword, it's want

>>33370185
They're made by some guy in Australia, he claims he builds them from scratch using 9260 high carbon spring steel.

>with roughly $20 worth of material, and people pay out the goddamn nose for this stuff.
Using that logic, the material to make your pants cost what? Like $1.50? But you probably payed closer to $10-$20 right? That's because it's not just the material you pay for. Nice shitpost though.

>>33366800
How else will you kill the White Walkers? stupid goy

>>33370185
Yea, well I guess all guns shouldn't cost more than $100 if it's just material cost you're worried about.

You know just forget the specialized tooling and labor costs...
