Acouple of weeks ago I did a small sword of a Lindermachete to my nephew.
This weekend was the time to give it to him. His name is Hannes, 6year old, and the kid with the longbow is his brother Elvis, 4years old.
He LOVED IT!!!! When I told him to take of the sheath he just "huh?" He thought is was a wooden sword. You should have seen his face when he realized it was a real sword <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />




Had to test chopping




Testing other knives, here a HI Tarwar

Testing big knives is great <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />



When chopping I saw Elvis had his right hand is his pocket all the time and I asked him why and he said he jus wanted to have it in the pocket. But I understood he hade cut him self in the finger and didn´t want to tell me. Band-aid on and then countinue chopping <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


I asked them which one was their favorite, Hannes was his new sword and Elvis loved the Tarwar <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

No wonder Im their favorite uncle... and they are my favorite nephews <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Hannes told me that this was the best day of his life. I had a really good time too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good training for young Vikings, Simon. They will be ready to invade England when they're grown! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I love the boy to blade size ratio, and why didn't I have an uncle like that growing up?

LOL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Looks like they had a great time.

What fun, I'm sure they loved it.

Looks fun, I wish I had an uncle like you when I was that age.

Looks like loads of fun for the kids. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for sharing the pics.
