Umm. Is this the custom XX pictured on A&A's website? Cuz if Russ doesn't want to handle the sword, I'll make a quick swoop down from Winchester VA to play with it. |
Sure Jason - PM me and we will schedule it.

Oh wow... that one gives yours a run for its money Mac. Both absolutely beautiful. So what is your collecting goal these days anyway? You have narrowed your focus rather a lot it seems. Basically you just want to own every Vince Evans piece in the world? |

Hi Russ Yes, Ragnarok is quite the sword ....and just think .... Tom actually shortened that handle ! Yeah, the scope of my collecting has narrowed to the Scottish stuff, these last few years, as I've found it impossible (money-wise) to spread myself into other areas and be able to maintain such high quality items ! Not to mention that it's next to impossible to own all the different style of baskethilts & claidheamh mor I see ! The thing is, yes, Scottish swords are me .... 100% Beyond the absolute beauty I see in them I feel they are very much at the core of my heritage, tied into some crazy little voice in my head that helps me connect to all the generations past, and Scotland as a whole ! Vince & Eljay are the two best modern day hammermen I've come across in centuries ..... and that is why my collection is made up of their work ! I've dabbled in antique originals, as well, but as a rule they are far too rich for my blood ! Afterall, I be but a lowly land-scraper here in the former colony of His Majesty, Massachusetts ! (and boy o boy the price of fuel is getting out of hand here..... perhaps it's time to have another Tea Party ;-) yor Most Humbl Sevtt , Thomas |

My, oh my. Such eye-candy I woke to this morning!!! I seem to recall a photo of a strange four-quillon claymore with a curved spiral grip. Anyone have photos or more info on that one? Keep the pics coming!!!.......mcm. |

Yup......That's the one. Strange beast, that. I can imagine the look on the face of an English soldier when confronted by a blood-crazed Highlander carrying a monstrous sword such as that. You know any history on it, Mac?....mcm |
