We went to Medieval Times Show in Schaumburg today. THey gave us some
yummy medieval food, such as chicken, and had a show of sword
fighting. Since the kids were interested, I wanted to impress them
with something. So out of a 1/2" steel rod (likely cold rolled) I
forged a kids sword. While I did sharpen the edges to give it a
realistic look, I intentionally left all edges very dull, as is
suitable for a kids toy. This is a present for my older son, who will
sharpen it when he gets older. Then it will be a real weapon. The
handle is made from rosewood.

The beer can is shown for size comparison purposes and is not
included.

Wow... the Medieval Times reminds me of that scene in "The Cable Guy"
