Back Early
We went out to Fare Friday early. Well, early for us. Everybody said they were going to bring their kids. We brought Elle. No one else brought their kids. We came home Saturday evening. Oh, well, it was fun. We tried to arrange a single day for Elle to be out there. It just didn't work out. I didn't get any videos. I was really waiting for Sunday when Elle was to be in the parade and sporting some child sized chainmail. As I type this, the guys are out there having a great time. We will have a double good time next week.

This sword is made from Damascus Steel. That means several layers of different hardness to allow it to be both bendable and stay sharp at the same time. This is what $5000+ buys you in a modern sword.

That is what a $16,000 sword looks like. It is amazingly well balanced. The detail is all beautiful. In a word, "wow".
