I love that song, and it's best when played by a traditional band.
The vocalist (his name escapes me) has left us along with Shane Magowan.

Has anyone tried cutting with one of these swords in the style that Xasterix uses?

I find it interesting to see that the Light Hilted Yataghans' hilts are all described as Bone when most of them are hilted in Ivory or Walrus tusk. :confused:
