| You need to start going for a little less fuction and a bit more form [:P]
Or even heck, we know you're a Drow fan. Go for Drizzt action swordplay.

| Vash,
You insult me!
[:p]
Wall hangers give me the creeps. If I can't 'use' it I don't want it; like buying a car with no engine!
(BTW - IMNSHO Hibben stuff is UGLY and so are those Drizzt 'swords'!) | |

| I have a friend that's really into the Hibbin stuff. For most of it, though, I just don't understand the allure.
Icingdeath and Twinkle at least look practical--if not very attractive beyond a purity of purpose. Plainness works, too. | |

| Nice looking sword, Username.
I never really liked that version of Twinkle and Icingdeath. I don't think they are curved enough. They are supposed to be based on Todd Lockwood's depiction on them from what I can tell, and they got every detail right except the amount of curveage. | |

| Your sword of choice is superior, Username.
Good weight, good length, real steel (won't shatter after a couple of swings), and I really like the clean, un-frilly style. Nice.
Hibben swords are too heavy and usually made of 440 stainless (which is extremely brittle but nice and shiny). Their versions of Icingdeath and Twinkle are funky. I don't recall Drizzt every wielding "straight-bladed" scimitars. They need a stronger curve. | |

EDIT: brittle like this you mean?
