Not as bad as you may think, Vic. The Kris Cutlery Celtic Sword cost $165.00 when I bought it. The Celtic Long Sword on the left in the picture isn't Kris Cutlery. It's from Windlass Steelcraft. I think I paid around $129.00 for it. I bought it principally to have an example of the anthropomorphic handle that Celts often incorporated into their swords. It is nowhere near the quality and craftsmanship of the Kris Cutlery blade.

One of the really cool things about my setup are the sword holders. Magnify the picture and look at them closely. Can you make out what they are?

Very good. They're brass-colored split towel hooks. I could not figure out how to mount those swords. My wife suggested we go to Orchard Supply Hardware and just take a look around. We weren't there 5 minutes when the idea of using towel hooks presented itself. They work perfectly! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
