Suggestion Box.
This area is for making general suggestions. If you have a comment about a specific weapon I have already posted about, please post it in the comment section for that specific weapon. However If you have any suggestions that you think might improve my blog, or if you have any specific weapon or range of simple hand weapons you’d like me to talk about, go ahead and post a comment about it here. Can’t promise anything, but I’ll certainly see what I can do!
@Mangetsu
It would be my pleasure!
@Binh
I have not seen that!! That is Awesome!!! That is sooo going on my list after I do Mangetsu’s site… Thanks for the link!!!
@Hakkaeni
Funny you should ask, I have certainly found myself doing a lot of protoype weapon design critiques lately. Most of it primarily in the Exotic Automatic forum.
Actually if you really want good design advice, I’d suggest you go there, Lost of members with lots more experience than I, and more heads are better than one. I’m also a co-operator/admin there, and am there all the time, so if you post your designs up there, you’ll get a response fairly quickly from me, and several other excellent folks that frequent the forum…
http://exoticautomatic.com
i need to regain my loyalty to that site again im posting very sporadicly
I’m curious what you think of this sword.
http://www.hellenic-art.com/armour/sw2880.jpg
It’s titled “Achilles Sword”, about two thirds down on this page:
http://www.hellenic-art.com/armour/sword.htm
When I first glanced at it the thought “What the hell is that” went through my head, so I figured maybe it’s of interest
It’s funny colored, I can’t tell if it even has a tang or if it’s just bolted to the hilt, and I’m not sure what metal it’s made of.
I have just read the article. Looks and sounds great. It’s nice to see my work out there. Can’t wait to hear what the world has to say.
Thanks
Mangetsu
@Mangetsu
My pleasure, your work pretty much speaks for itself…

Hey Marcado,

phyre dude!
found a site with some really swish medieval recreations!
heres the link bruv http://www.aceros-de-hispania.com/gb/infer.asp?ac=34&trabajo=listar&pa=recreacion-medieval&sg=recreacion-medieval
Muahahaha… Sweet!
Thanks for the links!!
i have a suggestion, make the “grapevine” into a seperate page so i can see what you replied to me on LOL
http://www.geocities.jp/vanessa_482/cherry/ningu.htm
something on there look very familiar mr balrog? the spear without a shaft etc?
I wasn’t sure were else to post this so if it’s in the wrong spot sorry.
Anyway, this video has nothing to do with bladed weapons or even guns for that matter. Someone made a duel wrist mounted flamethrower which I found insanely bad ass and I thought you, and and some of the others on this site, might enjoy. So enjoy the video!

@Mozza
:
LOL, well I’m, not going to make a page for the comments, but I will increase how many comments show up in the grapevine. But you can always also subscribe to the comments RSS feed too
http://thedarkblade.com/wp-commentsrss2.php
And LOTS of things look familiar on that page!! Plus some things that aren’t so familiar. I’m savin’ it so I can go through and talk about a few of them later.
Thanks Bruv!
@TheHat
Actually i’ve run into this guys vids before, His name is Everett Bradford, I’m actually subscribed to his channel on YouTube. I tried to get him to join Exotic automatic, but never heard anything back from him… Very cool implementation though. He has a newer version in the works too.
But thanks for sharing the link!
better than nothing i guess lol
Hey Phyreblade
I have made the changes I wanted to make to the Tekko-Kagi.
Next I will take them out and film them being tested.
The first test went so well I have to get in on camera.
They are distroying everything and I’m feeling nothing!
http://www.ninedirections.com/steel_signiture_tekko-kagi.html
Best of luck and keep up the good posts
PB dude remember the “replicas that dont suck” posts? didnt you do a kratos, god of war one?
if so i found a perfect replica
heres the linkage bruv! : http://www.uniquities.co.uk/acatalog/God_of_War.html
Hey Mangetsu,
Thanks for the update, I will definitely be checking it out!
@Mozza
I did actually do a post on Kratos swords, (http://thedarkblade.com/blades-of-chaos/) though none of the ones I posted about were anywhere near as evil looking as the pic on the site you linked to… Nobody seems to have made any replicas that match the sharp contours of Kratos Blades of Chaos. A bunch o wussies, all of them!
I’m going to keep an eye on those uniquities folks, I hope they don’t wuss out as well. Thanks for the link!
Hey Phyreblade, I recently came across a sword that I thought you might be interested in, knowing your fondness for dark blades. http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~501176~name~Blacksword.htm
The site has a few good weapons, but this one in particular definitely caught my eye. (You’re not the only one who likes dark blades.)
OK… That is SWEET!!! that looks a lot like the Black Italian Bastard sword I blogged about a while back, only BETTER!!
Thanks!!
Not sure if you read the web comic “Contemplating Reiko” it’s quite a wiked one about the devils evil little daughter doing horrible things but almost looking cute while doing them. Anyway I thought you might like today’s comic:
http://www.taintedink.com/Reiko%20Gallery/reiko229smallcolor.jpg
(Note: Yes that is the devil and his wife)
Not a real sword but still a pretty awesome replica: http://www.fiberglassblades.com/Twilight_princess.html
@TheHat
LOL no, never read that comic, though It would be pretty aweseom if someone got me a Jet black Desert Eagle in .50AE for my birthday one of these days…
It’s amazing what you can do with fiberglass these days… That sword looks absolutely great…
Haha that comic is pretty good, though a little on the dark side, which with your color of choice for blades you might like!
And yeah, makes my replica off of TrueSwords look bad because the sheth is just leather :\
Also you may have seen this already but I thought I’d post it just in case: http://www.trueswords.com/ontario-machete-survival-spec8-p-2635.html
Makes a much better survival machete then that other one you posted about.
I was looking around online for Katars today when I stumble upon this beauty.
http://www.christies.com/lotfinderimages/d52116/d5211694a.jpg
I remember your post about gun katars.
So I was like “man, Phyreblade is going to love this.”
Isn’t it pretty?
Here is the website for it.
http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5211694
I have a Musashi sword which I bought at a convention for quite the pretty penny and I haven’t been able to find any pictures of it online leaving me to believe that there aren’t many of them around, and well I was wondering if you could review it, here are some bad pictures of it if you’re interested I’ll take some better ones.
See it starts off as a normal katana nice and pretty in it’s sheath:
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k79/theratking2006/Musashiclosed.jpg
Then it’s fight time! :O
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k79/theratking2006/Musashiopen.jpg
ZOMG OH NOOOZZZZZ THA TOOK MAI SWORD! . . . . . no worries >:)
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k79/theratking2006/Musashiduel.jpg
See it has a pretty cool parrying blade hidden in the sheath as . . . part of the sheath! So you could either use it to parry, in case your sword gets taken away, or just to pull it out when you’re in a pinch and scare/own the shit out of your opponent.
@The Hat
Nice Survival Machete!! I’ll have to add that to my “To Post” list.
And Musashi swords are great. They are not exactly rare, however they aren’t your run of the mill blades either. Yours is pretty nice though!!
@Biscuit papa
Thanks for the Link, That is a beautiful Gun Katar!!! Is definitely also going onto my list…
http://www.shocknife.com/index.html
A training stun gun knife thing?
LOL seems like it would certainly be an effective alternative to an actual knife…
Already posted a flame message about this…so now I’m going to just ask nice. Can I not ahve a gay pink sponge avatar…pretty please…I looked for how to change the darn thing and could not find anything on how to change the avatar. Perhaps a way to do this would be a good add?
Was just looking at the storm shadow and snake eyes swords post and also came across their hollywood versions i rather like snake eyes new katana or is it a wakisashi anyway heres the link http://www.kultofathena.com/swords-fantasy.htm
@Wartorn
Sorry, about the sucky avatar, I haven’t had a chance to breathe lately, let alone read comments and write posts, so I’m a little behind the ball here. I see you’ve got a gravatar so i guess it’s all fixed then… My apologies!
@Kymera
I also prefer SnakeEyes katana. Thanks for the link!
The gravatar concept…pretty neat…no need to apologize…I thought maybe it was one of those things like Sinza did with the Monkey butt avatar…I was like “no…not the gay pink sponge” but it was just the forum host being skanky so…we good…more sharp objects please and thank you.

Sorry if misusage of this suggestion box accurs…
Please use the search function next time, there have been many posts about it.
Try reading here: http://thedarkblade.com/assassins-creed-revisited/
And I’m sure the forum that Phyreblade is an admin at ( http://exoticautomatic.com/ ) will have a at least a few posts about it.
Good luck, and next time don’t assume people on the site are all cocky jerks, actually I’ve very rarely seen a mean comment.
Hey Phyerblade, you might like this parody site about Ninjas! http://www.realultimatepower.net/
Here’s a suggestion: Good luck with whatever is slowing you down man, and don’t worry your loyal fans will welcome you back.
