You really shouldn't carry a knife into any combat unless you're skilled at and willing enough to using it. Most attackers will probably be able to take it off you and use it against you if you aren't.

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #51 on:** March 21, 2004, 09:01:32 AM »

Yes, but how likely are they to be more skilled at using it than you are, since you actually own the blade and they just took it from you? Besides, I've had some broadsword and kendo training, so I at least have the basics of "How to not chop off one's own foot," and "Dropping your sword in combat is the last mistake you'll ever make. Have a man's grip or die."

Mr. Limely everywhere I go these days I have to hear about you and the Master Sword. sending you a PM about it the other day but eek-screetch-jolt the computer decided it was time to bust out in some crazy hula madness. Or not. So I apologize to everyone for subjecting you to this nonsense, for Lo! I'm just trying to get in touch with a very old friend. (Everyone suppress the urge to say "what the bleep is this bleepin' bleep doing, bleep" and substitute with "AW")

And she was never heard from again. The End.

Heh. Rob has said that he's received 4 more orders for Master Swords since the story went up on this site! Guess it was good publicity!

Congrats Coarse_Limely! That thing looks pretty sweet. i want it to have my children. <irrelevant> I noticed the smite page is down, what's with that? </irrelevant>

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #56 on:** March 31, 2004, 01:59:37 PM »

Smitesoftware.com isn't worth programming a website for until we have some game content. That's not going to happen for awhile yet, but I want to hold the site now anyway for image-hosting and such.

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #57 on:** April 02, 2004, 03:25:00 PM »

There. I put up a teaser image for all 5 of you who will travel to the site before I get some content. I'd better get to work on some concept art and such, I guess!

Hey coarse_limely!
Do you have any sketches or designes that guy made for your sword? I'm making wooden replicas of famous swords and someone wants me to make the master sword for him. You can mail me or go to my site http://www.geocities.com/wesselzelda2/swordshome.html

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #59 on:** April 04, 2004, 11:18:27 AM »

I don't have any of the sketches he made, just the artwork I sent him, that's posted on the news article.

After I become a successful video game designer I'll be able to afford it, but not on the salary of a video arcade manager.

you can make the steel blue?
Why not... paint it or something?
I didn't think the handle of the master sword was metal, too

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #61 on:** April 08, 2004, 10:32:08 AM »

What did you think the handle of the Master Sword was made of? Anything other than metal would be too fragile to handle all of the bashing, slashing, chopping, and other impacts that Link puts it through, all magic aside. It does look like a stone of some sort, though, doesn't it?

Anywho, yes, you can make metal blue, but it's a complicated process that's costly and can also weaken the metal to a certain degree, as I understand it. Painting it would look ugly and/or require constant touch-ups.

I have a few questions for you.... First off, did you get the tri-force symbol just forged into the sword, or did you get the actual dimensions and the sword from nintendo? (or whoever owns the rights) If so, how did you get the legality part of the project taken care of? I wanted to get some "authentic" work from some anime done myself and just wandered how I could go about doing it. Thanks for the help!!

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #63 on:** April 08, 2004, 02:25:58 PM »

The TriForce was engraved into the metal after the blade was finished.

So long as the item isn't being mass-produced and sold on ebay or anything like that, legality really isn't an issue. It shouldn't be a problem to have your replicas made.

As for the dimensions, I extrapolated them from the games within a certain margin for error and scaled them to my own height vs. Link's (I'm a bit taller).

Link_Up · « **Reply #64 on:** April 10, 2004, 01:33:01 PM »

Say, Coarse_Limely, I've got a question for ya:
How heavy is that (really nice) sword anyway? I just got Narsil in and that thing is about 10 kilo's. Here are some measurements:
Overall Length: 52-7/8"
Blade Length: 40-5/8"
Blade Thickness: 1/4"

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #65 on:** April 10, 2004, 05:15:29 PM »

My sword is around 14 pounds. It already feels a lot lighter than when I first received it. I managed to find a swing that doesn't intercept any of my furnature and I've been training with it every day.

I like the replicas of Narsil that are circulating, myself. My favorite is the Shards of Narsil one, though, where it's still in its shattered state. Not very useful, but a great-looking display piece.

Jale · « **Reply #66 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:40:34 PM »

It's not an OoT replica, that has a purple hilt.

It is the red-hilted sword from erlier games.

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #67 on:** June 16, 2004, 02:38:10 PM »

No, he's talking about the actual ocarina, not the sword.

elementc · « **Reply #68 on:** June 17, 2004, 01:55:35 AM »

Yes, as a matter of fact I was. Since you apparentley have private messaging disabled I guess I'll have to rely on the this forum. Could you please take some pictures of it and such?! I would really appreciate it if you would.

AIM = densetsubaka

Jale · « **Reply #69 on:** June 17, 2004, 06:52:46 AM »

Woo an actual ocarina must be pretty kewl. I saw one on the Eurovision song contest once.

evil intentions · « **Reply #70 on:** June 17, 2004, 08:45:50 AM »

I would also like to see those pictures. I've never seen a real Ocarina before.

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #71 on:** June 17, 2004, 11:04:02 AM »

Next time I switch my computer on, I'll see if I can scan some images of it (the scanner needs to be turned on before the computer, for some reason). Don't know if the scanner will work with such a lumpy object or not, but I've got a Polaroid camera, too, so I'll try that if it doesn't.

Jale · « **Reply #72 on:** June 17, 2004, 11:24:53 AM »

Does it look like this?

Coarse_Limely · « **Reply #73 on:** June 17, 2004, 02:03:51 PM »

No. Mine has a hole layout that's more like the actual one in the game:

I like the band around the mouthpiece on that one, though Jale!

Jale · « **Reply #74 on:** June 17, 2004, 09:12:39 PM »

Where did you get that one made?
