K now I know that this is meant to be for game discussion only but I dont know where else to look. I recently started to collect swords in real life and one of them broke. The guard of the sword broke off and I would like to know what to use to repair it?

glue?

I don't know the term in english, but translated from Swedish its called "silver solder". It's great and durable.

Find a reputable repairsman who specializes in it.

Or google such services.

lol ya but which glue? I dont want to go out and buy a certain glue to have it later fall off again, and I dont have any sword repairsmen in my city and I dont want to pay a arm and a leg to send it out to god knows where.

weld it? lol

Find Mehrunes, he put a dagger back together for me one time.

Fire and a hammer

Man you guys are to funny lol. If only this were the olden times eh? Id rather use a hammer and a hot fire to repair it and save me some cash.

Anyway Ill check the metal epoxy out, thanks.

one word "google"

Go to a renaissance fair?

you could have asked here: http://www.gamesas.com/forum/18-community-discussion/
Posting it here will just get it locked.
But anyway, what kind of sword is it? How did the guard break(did it just fall off)? Is the sword full tang(does the blade go all the way through the sword, from the tip of the blade to the end of the pommel)?

I am going to glue so much stuff

Ingots, of course.

Take it to Rivendel. I hear the good folks there excell at mending broken swords.

Go to an auto-store... they sell an EPOXY-CLAY... Not EPOXY-BONDO, which is what JB-Weld Tubes contain. That is messy! You mash the two clay colors together, and shape it how you want. Sold in the same area... Might be green/white, one tube, pre-mixed... just got to mash the two colors into one color. It dries white.

Make a long thin tube, by just rolling it out in your fingers. Wrap it around the blade, near the handle, and slide the guard down the blade, mashing it tight against the epoxy.

Now trim the excess off with a sharp knife, razor, or x-acto blade.

Once it dries, it is like metal... Strong as heck... Will hold polished chrome to plastic, unlike glues or other soldering methods. (Chances are, they just glued it with a cheap epoxy-glue, which is just plastic-enamel.)

Assuming the gaurd is intact and just slipped off, JD-Mortal's method sounds good; Knead-Tite is the brand I'd suggest, it's commonly sold to plumbers for leak repair.

If there's actually cracked metal involved, JB-Weld is the better bet. I've had friends who race bikes (motor and pedal) use it to repair parts that had significant loads on them.

Either way, I hope this isn't a sword you are sparring with; not that the glue won't hold, but with construction that shoddy, the blade itself might shatter or some such, with very dangerous results.

I have a forge on my acreage, just bring it on down and I can re forge it. No joke I actually have a forge and I smithed a 5 foot cleaver.

Ya but with Google I type in Sword Repair and I get sites listed for things completely different from what I am searching for and for you Troy I appericate the offer but god knows where you live lol. Once I get paid I am going to get me some of that metal epoxy stuff I read up on it and boy does it seem goooooood and to Uncle Alchy I do not spare with them I just have them for decorations but lately I have been busy and havent had time to hang them up so I take it while I was moving things around in my room it fell over and a piece broke off the guard.

I second the epoxy suggestion. Don't take it to a metal workshop or repair shop of any kind, unless this is a rare antique or genuine sword. If this sword is one of those things you buy off QVC or whatever, epoxy is all you need.

And to avoid injury, don't use it again.

Ya Ill try telling those damn pesky forsworn that

Thanks again guys

If it is actually worth more than 20 bucks take it to a dealer for advice, otherwise use superglue...
