Two sabers
Years ago, a friend gifted me with two saber blades with threaded tangs. He was clearing out his house because he was getting married.
Forward a few years, and I found a pair of plumbing fixture knobs. I thought they would make interesting pommels for the sabers. I pulled them out, bent a pair of S-guards out stainless steel bar stock, and drilled and shaped wooden grips. I had to drill out the knobs, and tap them with the same thread as the tangs. I set them aside, and did not find them again when I was making my sword racks.
I pulled them out today, to put a finish on the wood, and remove some rust spots. The sabers are not sharp, and the balance is for show, not combat. My thought is that I might donate them to a local dance school that has tribal and belly dancing in there curriculum.
those are cool looking now all I can think of is a wall art with them both crossed over each-other, or alternatively next time you do a photo-shoot get the model to dress as a pirate and swing two matching sabers
