OVERSTOCKED ON MEDIEVAL SWORDS!!!

We are overstocked with 7 extra swords from the Joan of Arc period. I need to get the 7 off my order list to get great prices from my supplier for other orders.

Use the COUPON CODE: 100YRS to get the discount on this sword. I normally sell this to friends for $200.00 but need to move it fast and they have already spent their limits for Halloween, so I am offering it at $195.27 to move these fast. After Halloween holding these will not be an issue for me financially, so I will only offer this prices until Oct 31.

Our other selection of Swords and Weapons is always on the site.

What exactly is a wallhanger?

I'm sure some who visit usableweapons.com want to know why we sell wallhangers swords as well as battle ready swords. What's the difference, you ask?

Our battle-ready swords are built for combat. They are built stronger, with durable materials. The battle-ready weapons we sell at usableweapons.com are historically accurate. While fantasy weapons are fun, we learn to appreciate historical weapons, and the masters who spent their lives creating workable, usable, weapons.

A "wall-hanger", as we like to call it, are swords that hold no other main purpose other than to hang on a wall. These tend to be built with cheaper materials, and will not hold up to any form of combat. In fact, nine times out of ten these swords will most likely break if you take them and use them in any type of martial arts combat.

So what's the point of wallhangers, why do we even sell them? They look pretty. Plus, we have all been attracted to swords we see in movies and books. Personally, I love the sword of narsil, shown here. While I would know this sword would never get any real use, it would be a wonderful addition to my living room wall. Plus, it would be an awesome addition to any Aragorn costume.

The best part of our wallhanger collection is the price. Wallhangers are genereally a lot cheaper in price, being that they are meant for decoration only. If you are trying to spruce up your house, apartment, or bedroom; or you needing an amazing sword to accompany your medieval/renaissance costume for an event or a costume party, pick up one of our wallhangers swords which will do the trick at a fraction of our other sword costs.

The longsword, often called a hand-and-half, saw a great deal of service as a weapon of war, but was also employed a great deal as a civilian weapon of self-defense.

Coupled with a dagger, the longsword was an excellent defense against robbers, thieves, footpads, assassins and even some of the robber bands that might roam the countryside.

A good serviceable point allowed it to be used for thrusting, and a medium weight allowed it to be used easily and carried with equal ease. This weight also allowed it to be used with one hand with a dagger in the other. But when needed, it could be gripped with both hands for a very powerful cut. Pommel and guard are steel. Grip is wood wrapped with leather and wire. A beautiful and very functional sword. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.. Includes scabbard. Can be sharpened for additional fee ($20).

HSN: Sword Breaking on television

As you can see in the video, most merchants do not know what true battle ready medieval weapons, or battle ready swords, consists of. Watch as this sales guy demonstrates his battle ready weapons knowledge (battle ready medieval weapons, really just a cheap fantasy sword) and it nails him in the arm.



You must develop a great relationship with your seller and be sure that they know what weapons will, and what weapons will not, hold up in battle... or at least practice with your battle ready medieval weapons, or any battle ready weapon.

Medieval Clothing

While many of us will never try to use battle ready medieval weapons, there are those who always will love to compete with medieval swords.



The movie above shows the extremes of battle, though they used their environment to their advantage. Though foam weapons were used in the movie, medieval swords could be used in the same fashion (though only for short periods of time).

The difference between medieval swords and other battle ready medieval weapons is huge. We will coverjavascript:void(0) this in another blog topic. All the battle ready medieval weapons are useful. Though you must know how to us medieval swords, or battle ready medieval weapons will never help your causes.

Why Battle Ready Medieval Weapons Get Bad Press

Battle ready medieval weapons have gotten a bad wrap over the past few years due to videos such as these:





Let's face it, battle ready medieval weapons have nothing to do with "Lightning Bolts". In fact all we can see here are many misfits running around trying to kill the black knight from Monty Python. They are using LARP weapons (latex weapons). Battle ready medieval weapons and LARP Weapons (latex weapons) are very different.

LARP Weapons are geared toward individuals who want to play fast. "Just give me latex weapons so I can hit someone now!" is the general attitude of LARPers when it comes to fighting (though in other posts you will see that they do not only battle).

Battle Ready Medieval Weapons enthusiasts tend to join groups such as TheARMA.org, swordacademy.com, wmaw.us. They are focused on the actual martial art aspect of sword fighting, not the "Fantasy swords are so cool!" mind set that so many battle ready medieval weapon lovers tend to begin with.

Both battle ready medieval weapons enthusiasts, and LARP weapons (latex weapons) groups both are great recreational activites to join into. Simply do some research before you decide to join any battle ready medieval weapons group, or LARP weapons (or latex weapons) group.
