"Starfire" single-hand sword
purchased roughly around 1998
Back at the old VARF (Virginia Renaissance Faire owned by REC,
not the current VARF operated by "Out of the Woodwork Productions"),
I picked up this single-hand sword from Starfire.
At the time I knew little about what sorts of swords you would use
for "live steel" reenactment or combat, except that it should be
sturdy and blunt. Starfire makes their swords tough, and offers a
lifetime guarantee on them as well. Wanting to get into that sort of
thing some day, it seemed like a good choice at
the time. Starfire also makes their swords very heavy, and by the
time I started getting involved with actual reenactment and WMA
groups, it was becoming pretty clear that this sword would probably
just hang on the wall.
