Yet Another Beautiful Dark Blade…
November 2nd, 2009 | 
Author: A fellow DarkBlader (Many apologies, I do not recall who) recently turned me on to this absolutely beautiful dark sword from the excellent Kult of Athena Site.
BlackSword
It is quite fittingly called the Blacksword. And man… What a sword!! There are few swords that truly capture the both the flash flaire of the many finely mirror polished swords out there today, while still being subtle, dark, understated and, most importantly, evil… and this is one of them.
The Blacksword is made by the outstanding Windlass Steelcrafts, and is an absolute work of art. 32.5″ of slim, dark, hyper blued, sinister steel, with a simple fuller running down it’s center, into a simple diamond flare at the ricasso. The hilt is equally charismatic, with a simple elegant, upward curving cross guard rising from the simple center shield-like emblem.
The spiral leather wrapped wood grip presents us with yet more sinister but oh so tempting darkness, bordered at each end by silver studded bands, and finishing at another equally simple pommel. A simple, beautiful, dark, sinister but breathtakingly magnificent sword.
When I look at this sword, I think of the Drow, The dark elves of the Underdark. If your average, highly polished sword were a fair-skinned forest elf, this sword would be the light haired, dark skinned Drow equivalent. I’ve probably said this before, but I wonder what it would be like to have a dark, beautiful Drow girlfriend. A dark irresistible beauty whom you knew could turn and plunge a knife through your heart at any moment, for any reason, but who was just too stunning to say no to.
Probably 7 circles of hell all wrapped up in a single Evil Drow Beauty…
Man… Evil can be soo tempting… o_O

I’ve been wondering when you were gonna post on this sword, cause I’ve been drooling over it for months now. I was the one who mentioned it, but no worries on forgetting.
I think the Drow comment fits it perfectly, it’s the perfect opposite to swords used by other elves, like Hadhafang.
Hey DA, Thanks for the tip. This is a really sweet sword…
