If y’all aren’t familiar with the TV show Firefly, and the film Serenity, then the title means nary a thing to ye. So, to explain:
The character is River Tam, and she is deadly. Especially with a reaver sword.
Anyway, this Monday I was scrubbing dog barf from the carpeting when the doorbell rang, causing said dogs to bark and jump and wag and generally make a nuisance. I had been warned informed that I was going to receive a package from the Lemur Compoundβ’. I thought it might be in retaliation a thank you gift consisting of chocolate or turducken, in return for the gift I had sent. I was so happily wrong.
Behold Serena, my very own reaver sword!!! Yes, I named her Serena, after Serenity.
Look at that blade. JUST LOOK AT IT!!!!
Makes you feel tingly inside, doesn’t it?
Yes, the photos were taken with my iPhone 3 GS, which does no justice to the absolute beauty of the steel. And yes, the blade is very sharp. This isn’t just for looks. It’s for life.
I think this would look great with my Steampunk costume, don’t you? π

Haha, look out SA Reaver community! Nice addition!
September 21st, 2012 at 10:39 AM
Isn’t she boo-ti-ful?? π
September 21st, 2012 at 10:34 AM
Shiny!
September 21st, 2012 at 10:39 AM
And sharp!! π

Nice use of Firefly Universe language, Rabid.
Now you need to do a River Tam pose like Glau does at the end of her killin’ spree.
September 21st, 2012 at 11:35 AM
I’m all for RabidAlien doing a River Tam pose… π
September 21st, 2012 at 7:12 PM
I’m not nearly as good-looking in a bloody miniskirt.
September 21st, 2012 at 8:50 PM
No, I would think not, RA.
Sith, this is NOT the time for intentional obtuseness.
September 21st, 2012 at 8:52 PM
Are you kidding??
It’s ALWAYS time for that!!
September 21st, 2012 at 8:51 PM
Still, I bet some would pay money to see that π
September 21st, 2012 at 11:37 PM
“….some would pay money…” wait….HOW’D YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT??????? It only happened once!!!
Okay. Twice. But THAT WAS IT!
September 21st, 2012 at 10:45 AM
That’s pretty splendiferous!
September 21st, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Totally me, isn’t it?
heh…heh…heh…
September 21st, 2012 at 12:28 PM
you need the axe too. for balance. π
September 21st, 2012 at 2:27 PM
Yes….Yes, I do π
September 21st, 2012 at 8:53 PM
Trust me, hilljohnny, that thought had occurred.
Not saying we will get one o’ them, and I’m not saying we won’t… π
Don’t hold out for that one, Ag. I want my Operative sword first.
September 21st, 2012 at 8:55 PM
If you find one, just let me know. Hubby would love to get it for moi.
Well, more like he knows I want it and doesn’t want to go through the trouble of looking, so he would appreciate the heads-up π
September 21st, 2012 at 8:56 PM
I will forward said information to him as soon as humanly possible.

Oooooh…. π
September 21st, 2012 at 2:40 PM
Too bad they didn’t have those in time for my wedding. Cutting the cake woulda been way more awesome with that than a ceremonial cutlass.
September 21st, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Dude, be grateful. I got a generic 6 inch kitchen knife to use at my wedding.
*sobs*
September 21st, 2012 at 5:55 PM
That is utterly cool. It speaks volumes about the impeccable taste of both giver and receiver. π
September 21st, 2012 at 8:51 PM
Heh! Cruel Wife and Lemur King have been on the lookout for one for a while. Around here, all I find are machetes and every so often a bayonet!
September 21st, 2012 at 8:55 PM
Hey, what’s wrong with bayonets? I have one, 1943 vintage. Cheap crappy machete… a katana… throwing knives… These are all things one needs to run ordinary life in today’s home, in my opinion.
September 21st, 2012 at 8:56 PM
Mostly the bayonets aren’t for sale, just for show.
*sobs*
September 21st, 2012 at 11:39 PM
Throwing knives? Awesome! I picked one up back in August, just ‘cuz. Now, I just need to learn how to stick it….
September 22nd, 2012 at 11:35 AM
Son has a set, and Hubby is setting up a target. OUTSIDE. π
September 21st, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Not to sound like begging for blog hits or anything (because that makes veeshir get his panties in a bunch) but tomorrow I will be putting up something nice that Her Sithiness made for us, which is way cool.
September 21st, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Awwww, how sweet π
September 22nd, 2012 at 6:09 AM
You need to wear a slip dress when you use it.
September 22nd, 2012 at 11:36 AM
I would look like a sausage. Seriously π
September 22nd, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Think puking dog will understand that being on the rug?
September 22nd, 2012 at 11:36 AM
HA! She looked at me as if to say, “But you know I love you…” π
