Richard Lester's "The Three Muskateers" had a guy sharpening his blade on a wheel before a duel (courtyard outside an inn?). There was a bagpipe involved, too, IIRC. "Princess Bride" may have had a bit of maintenance. All of Jackson's "LOTR" movies did. (Aragorn paid more respect and attention to his sword than to either of the ladies who loved him.) "Robin and Marion" was wonderful, but it has been years since I've seen it. :sigh: Medieval iron was pretty soft, so it wasn't uncommon to stop fighting and stand on the blade to straighten it between blows. IIRC, that all-day fight with Robin and the Sheriff shows such a scene. Have fun! Carolly
