That 52 inch sword only becomes a 4.3 ft sword. If you take the blade length only its 37 inches, which is just over 3 ft.
I know its damned near impossible to find a true sword which even comes close to the dragonslayer... but I've found a couple.
This one is tall enough
78 inches equals 6.5 feet!
Scottish Claymore thats 68 inches
Another fine sword
I am tempted to buy the one you posted... just to use it as a reference for making a life-sized one. m^__^m
##edit## spidey 3 kinda let me down... alot.

Dammit...i was having great hopes for the Trueswords Dragonslayer...but just like the Twinkle and Icingdeath of Drizzt the makers muck it up. Good attempt I must say but they don't even have the rough, dark iron part in the middle. And also, the Dragonslayer had a cloth wrapped handle with some hanging off...
Blasphemy...why can't people just make the actual damn sword. I am going to learn the art of blacksmithing and do it!!!! ^_^
EDIT: i'm not a comic book reader of Spidey but I loved the movie!!! I am playing the game too. ^_^ I can't wait for Spidey 4 now.

I am with Drizzit need to learn blacksmithing to make my own Dragon Slayer.

I don't know if anyone posted this yet but I think this is a pretty good replica of the dragonslayer.

Ha. Glad to see you guys like those pics. I found them on skullknight.net. You can actually read the start of the building process here.

I also found a very well done fully combinable advent children buster sword on ebay. Its made of wood but it has an awesome paint job making it look very realistic. Take a look here.

I think that may be a bit too big. Gats is still human-sized although quite tall. I would say hes 6ft+ but no more than 7 ft tall. I'm guessing here but the sword shouldn't be more than 7 ft long.TheDrizzit wrote:How long was the Dragonslayer anyways? 9 feet?
The guy who wrote the walkthrough for the ps2 game said this about the sword:
I approximate the sword, with handle, to be around seven feet tall,
roughly 1.5 feet wide, and four inches thick at its thickest point. It is
made of Iron (Fe), Atomic Number: 26, Atomic weight: 55.845 amu. Iron nuclei
are said to be very stable, but is historically combined with carbon or
alloyed with other metals. Pure iron is very susceptible to corrosion in
humidity and has moderate magnetic properties. I would estimate the weight of
Dragonslayer to be in the range of 210 - 295 pounds (95.2544 - 133.8097 kg).
These are NOT official or to be taken at face value, they are simply my
educated guesses. To put that into perspective, a typical Scottish claymore
is about 50 inches long while weighing around 7 - 11 pounds. Even the largest
swords ever made to be handled by one person never exceeded 20 pounds.

Re: Berserk Merchandise (and plushies!!!)
Can we count the post above as shameless spamming/ advertising to promote something totally unrelated to Berserk?
Anywho... A friend of mine just got back from Japan. She couldn't find Yoshitaka Amano's '1001 Nights' on DVD so she got me this instead, since I never shut up about Berserk in class:
Of all the regular stuff that looked 'normal' for Berserk, she HAD to get me this. Either way I'm not complaining. m^__^m
So I thought I'd put up my tiny Berserk collection so far:
Best $200 I ever spent! Branded Box for ps2 with Gutts figure!
My rule for Otakon this year is: do not buy anything unless its Berserk related!

Re: Berserk Merchandise (and plushies!!!)
I'm so jealous of you. While I may not have a modded/swap magic PS2 to play the game, I wish I could have that. I'm not even able to find it online to buy from anywhere, not even eBay. Might you know how many were produced?lon3vvolf wrote:

Re: Berserk Merchandise (and plushies!!!)
I don't have a modded ps2... I had to borrow a friends to play it. I bought this thing off Ebay about 1.5 years ago. As far as I know only about 10k were made strictly in Japan.Buuhan1 wrote: I'm so jealous of you. While I may not have a modded/swap magic PS2 to play the game, I wish I could have that.

I've got 2 fake Berserk t-shirts, 1 made on campus, 1 ordered of a bootleg guy on Ebay. Should I post pics?
Re: Berserk Merchandise (and plushies!!!)
Damn, only 10k...that's gonna be hard to find, especially with them being from a foreign land.

Re: Berserk Merchandise (and plushies!!!)
Yeah I saw that... but with those measurements the blade is just barely 3 ft. The whole sword is only 52 inches (4 and 1/3 feet). I wouldn't feel too comfortable swinging that at people or even a giant minotaur looking thing with wings(Zod).
I'll have a DS made for me one day. Only once I'm strong enough to wield it.
