In years past many have wasted their hard earned money through a trial and error process of self-education. The myArmoury team hope that the information presented will help create more knowledgeable practitioners and collectors by helping us all make better informed purchasing decisions. They have sections on Features, Reviews, Collections, Albums, Books and a Forum. One of the best threads of the Forum is the Makers and Manufacturers thread. My favourite!
Finally Shane Allee, who is a self confessed admirer of build threads, has captured his own making of a xiphos. Superb work and the blade is not over engineered like some of the off the shelf and bespoke offerings for sale.. See the Forum Index > Makers and Manufacturers Talk > Greek Xiphos.
Shane's own site Iron Age Armory is following the build as well - but don't forget to look at his site - great inspiration!
