Highlander series Immortals' swords

Hello all,
I just rewatched every single Highlander series episode, in order, on youtube over the last couple of months. I am fascinated with the various immortals preference in swords and who made them, Marto, Sal, etc.. In fact I have started me a little file just for my own pleasure, a little hobby if you will, with the episodes listed and the various immortals' swords from each episode and who used them with each listing, at least if I could find pics, etc).

Some are strange. For example in Episode 17 I think, “Saving Grace”, Carlos Sindara uses some sort of wide bladed, medium length sword with a blade like an over sized Chinese Butterfly knife. I would like to know what that is and who made it. It says in the credits that Marto furnished the swords but I heard a couple of other outfits did too.

Haven't watched that episode in a number of years, but if I remember the plot correctly, didn't Sandaro have an estate in the Amazon, or some other such jungle? Stands to reason that the type of blade he would carry in an environment such as that would bare a resemblance to a machete (that his sword did).

Again, from memory, it looked like a prop that the production crew threw together when they are making the aluminum blades for the fight scenes (they made them in house). The only swords with steel blades where the hero props used in close-ups. The exception to this being "Duende" when they just rebated the edges off of the Rapiers since they couldn't get decent blades made that looked right and could withstand the punishment.
 
Do you have the "Watcher Cronicles" ? It list each sword per episode already for you... mostly.. .yeah, they started going through other dealers in the later seasons, many due to the advice from their choreographer F. Braun McAsh. I'd like his style and his ideas. Richie's second sword was my favorite, and that was a del tin blade.
 
I don't have the sets, been watching them youtube. I plan on getting the entire boxed set one day. I like Amanda in the show, but started to watch episode 1 of the Raven and quit almost immediately. She was so fine and sexy with her fair skin and dark hair but on the Raven she looks sickening to me with that white hair!

lol, I think all of us think that way. I haven't seen all of the Raven, but I heard it got really good towards the end of the first season before it was canceled.
 
I still have my sets as well as the dvds now, along with the first Marto Sword of the dragon ever sold,also Have one of Sals.

Picked it up myself from Marto USA.

Could'nt get into Raven but who could resist Amanda even Bill Clinton succumbed to her charms. :lol
 
I might have gotten into the Raven because I love Amanda. But I watched the first few minutes and just turned it off and never watched it again. I absolutely detest Amanda with that white hair. She was so fine and sexy with her dark hair, fair skin, etc.. I hate any fakeness with women, I hate died or frosted hair, fake boobs, etc.. I like them natural!

I checked the Watcher's Chronicle CD and the season one DVD and Blu-ray sets and didn't see any info on Sendaro's sword. Could have sworn they had it in there somewhere. I would say it had to have been on a website at some point as much as the fanbase got into such details but whether it's still online now...?
 
The "Charles V Sword" by Marto has been used in three or four so far (I am in middle of Season 2), and that Spanish sabre has been used in a couple.

Yep, I need to get the boxed set and would love to see the Watchers' Chronicals to see all the swords! I would especially like to know what kind of sword Amanda used in most of her episodes of Highlander. It isthe same one Rebeccas used. In fact in a flashback her and Rebeccas were sparring and had matching swords. I would like to know wht that is and who made it.
