Kurgen sword

[Raffles]

I was watching the original Highlander the other night and was just wondering how the Kurgen's collapsible sword stays locked together.
Or dosen't it. Were different swords used? Has anyone had a bash at this one?

Yep, different swords for different scenes.

Albion Kurgan.

Albion Cased-Kurgan.

The research.

Thanks for the links, they really explain a lot!

Anyone know what happened to the actual swords?

I think a few were kept by the producers but I know one is in the hands of this guy: http://www.yourprops.com/view_item.php?movie_prop=4497
