The sword looks great, Gus. I especially like the contrast between the blackened/blued fittings and the red leather of the grip.

Hmm, nice sword. Looks like a nice tatami-eater. :) How long it is actually ? I'm having a bit of difficulty to figure out the proportions from here (maybe its just too late and I need to sleep)...
I like the subtle transition between the cutting portion of the blade and the ricasso.

The blade is 36 and change. Unless FedEx somehow manages to lop a few inches off of it while it's on the way. :)

I just got the sword.
Angus Trim is a great sword maker, but a bad photographer. This sword is beautiful! I will post a pic soon.
This sword exemplifies all the things that made me fall in love with Angus Trim swords in the first place. I feel like the first time I opened a box from Christian Fletcher and found a gorgeous 1563 inside....like a kid on Christmas morning.
Time to go play...

That looks great and I look forward to getting my CF with the 1435 blade even more. ;) :cool:
If that is the type six strait guard mine should look similar but with a more waisted faceted grip and mine is also going to have an antiqued furniture.
Good photography also showing off the quality of the blade bevels more clearly.
