Two new Scorpion Swords added to the mix

Chris Palmer at Scorpion Swords has once again brought two new swords to his now quite extensive list of affordable beater swords based on history and the works of fiction.

The first is a fully functional replica of an ancient Thracian sword, the fearsome Rhomphaia – a sword/pole arm hybrid that was used with great effect against the ancient Greeks and Romans (indeed, it was the awesome cutting power of this blade that forced the ONLY documented change/upgrade to Roman armor – requiring some extra reinforcing bars in their helmets!).

Just one look at this beast of a blade and you can see why such an adjustment might well have been needed!

And for fans of fiction and unique fantasy blades, the ‘Mummy Sword’ of Ardeth Bay from the Mummy Returns movie is a blade that has been crying out for a decent and fully functional replica to be made: and Chris’s tribute to this movie sword is a very faithful and good one that Ardeth would have been proud to carry into battle.

Even though it is a fantasy piece, it is engineered based on solid principles and can deliver a great deal of downward cutting power with its optimized, gracefully curving edge.

Both are available here in Scorpion Swords section of our site for a VERY reasonable $289.99 – which is truly great value for hand made in the USA, almost indestructible sword like these.

Always great to see some new and unique affordable swords hit the market – especially in these times when new swords are few and far between..
