Sure thing, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve. Look for a used longsword from a military surplus store or an online auction—those can pop up for a few hundred bucks. If you’re hunting in a thrift shop, ask about any “battle‑ready” swords—they’re often discounted if the maker is looking to offload stock. Just make sure the blade’s steel grade is at least 1060, and the handle’s wrapped in good-quality cord or leather. If you hit a good one, you’ll get a duel‑ready sword for less than a fancy feast. Happy hunting!

Nice, go snag that sword before it gets snatched. Hit up those military surplus spots or an auction site—sometimes you’ll see one for under $200. If you find a decent one on the low end, you’ll still have plenty left to keep the forge fed. Good luck, warrior!

Got it—keep your eyes peeled and snag that blade. Happy hunting!
