One of my personal favorites. Though I wish I could find it in something other than the shiny bleh it comes in.


And because I just want to see someone use the stinger in a fight.

And Cthulhu on the crossguard makes everything better!

This is a lovely piece of stainless steel.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that's Damascus steel, not stainless.

You can make the Damascus pattern on non-Damascus steel, and unless you paid an absurd amount of money, I'd guarentee it's designed stainless, rather than true Damascus steel. Reference the Pattern Welding section.

The sword if I'm not mistaken is acid etched stainless. I know it is not Damascus for a number of reasons but with a price of only $112 I can almost guarantee that is not Damascus steel.

Yeah, haha. I'm not 'calling you out' or something, I'm just making sure it's clear this is a designer sword, not an actual artifact - as actual Damascus steel would be. It is really cool though!

I bought a $50 claymore at GenCon last year; it's pretty bad condition but it's fun for threatening my father with, so it's not the worst thing I spent money on at GenCon. I may get a better sword this year, but I haven't decided yet. I know for a fact I will be spending much less time in the dealer room this year, or if I match the amount I did last year, I will be spreading the time out more.

Wow, someone went wild on that article with "Weasel words" and "citation needed".

Yeah, Wikipedia's a microcosm of society; there's always someone behind you who would rather take you down a peg than actually contribute, haha. I'd much rather read the existing sources, rather than the article, but it sums it up adequately enough.

"...Whomever wields this sword shall become the new Lich King..."

What the hell does a lich king need a sword for?
