You call yourself a Drizzt fanboy?

[Dark Psion]

But do you have these?

I hate Drizzt, but those are some of the nicest looking replica blades I have seen.

I'd buy them-- if I wasn't afraid someone would recognize them.

I like them - but they look too much like a matched pair - the blade style is IDENTICAL, with only pommel and accents differing. Salvatore may have endorsed them, but they don't fit the "look" of two swords found independently of one another over a period of time.

I think they are nice, but I always envisioned scimitars as looking different, more along the lines of the Arabian sort?

"Hassan chop!" (Well if you get this reference, it was probably a falchion)

Of course, I know next to nothing about weapons, my only knowledge coming from DND and the 2nd Edition Arms and Equipment guide, heh.

True, but if you can find it, your search-fu is better than mine. I looked before posting my reply, just to try and "raise it to the top" and merge 'em.

Oh well, no harm done.

If the swords weren't virtually identical, they wouldn't be as useful. Remember, Drizzt trained and fought most of his life with two identical swords, before finding Icingdeath in The Crystal Shard. Blame the odd identical nature on both sword's magical natures. (If full plate can fit itself to its master, why not weapons?)

When Bob Salvatore named one of the swords Twinkle, I just about fell over laughing. When it comes to cool and evocative sword names, "Glamdring" it isn't. I bet he wields it along with his short sword Frilly and his dagger Prance.

I don't know about that, Piratecat, I rather like the name. One of the things that makes Drizzt such a likeable character is that he isn't always brooding and overly serious- he gives his sword a silly name, laughs his way through battles, and spends plenty of time teasing the dwarf and the barbarian. That, combined with his sense of honor, is what differentiates Drizzt from other "dark"/"anti" heroes, like Raistlin (well, in the first six books) or Elric.

On topic, those are some very nice swords- but way too expensive.

Agreed. Plus, although it's been quite a while since I read any of Bob's novels, I could've sworn that at least one of them, and possibly both, were not of drow manufacture, so the dark elvish script seems a little inappropriate. I guess Drizzt could have engraved them himself but that's not something I would picture from my memory of the character.

When it comes to cool and evocative sword names, "Glamdring" it isn't.

You can say that again. What the hell was he thinking?
