Silver Griffin is a one-of-a-kind sword created to represent
the type of weapon a drow, dark elf in the Forgotten Realms books, may carry as
part of his character. I'm partial the Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore
whose main character, Drizzt, carried two magical scimitars. I can imagine
Silver Griffin being stolen by a dark elf from a Dragon's hoard and using the
magical blade to fight his way to freedom.

Johns(blade&handle), Peter Farquhar(furniture)

Like most who have seen the movie, Conan the Barbarian, I've
always wanted a fantasy barbarian sword. This is my one-of-a-kind
rendition of such a sword. When designing this piece, I couldn't decide
what stone to use as the pommel. Fortunately, Peter created a pommel
system that has the capability of changing colored stones in a matter of seconds
to fit my mood or my outfit.
Salamanca Rapier
Maker:
Jim Hrisoulas (aka Atar)
Blade Material: L6
Handle Material: Water Buffalo horn
Hilt Material: black iron
Total Length:
42 inches
Blade Length: 36 inches
Blade Width at Ricasso: 1 inch
Weight: 2lbs
2oz
Point of Balance: 3.75 inches
In the spirit of The Three Musketeer and The Pincess Bride, I
made my request to Jim to make me a one-of-a-kind rapier that can bend 90
degrees and return true. What you see above is the result. Cool,
huh?
Sword of Crom

Massey
Blade Material: 5160
Handle Material: deerskin wrap
Hilt
Material: bronze
Total Length: 39.5"

This is a limited edition sword by Albion Armorers and was
modified specially for me (redesigned tip & ricasso width). In that
light, I guess there is not another like it. The sword is accompanied by a
signed certificate of authenticity by Jody Samson and Al Massey stating this
sword is an unnumbered prototype, P2, of The Sword of Crom limited
edition. The sword is similar to Conan's father's sword and also has runic
inscription that reads: "Suffer no evil ye who wield this in the name of
Crom."
