Default Back in service
Been over 10 years since I was last here. The sword above will be back in service tomorrow, cutting the wedding cake for my 2nd cousin! His grandpa was my dad's younger brother. The sword cut grandpa's wedding cake way back when, and now it will cut one again! Cheers!!

I was wondering what caused this thread to be resurrected - nice to hear you've held onto this sword, and that it has a place in the tradition of your family

Thank you for sharing this update! This was a great discussion and good to see the family traditions, and that of this fine sword, continuing in good form.
Well done!
