From what I've read on your forums and other forums, this Angel Sword company seems to be loathed or loved by all. So, I would please ask that we refrain from starting a debate about their products. Thank you. I should also mention that I know nothing about weapons, melee-active history, or steel. I apologize if I seem too newbish.
Any way, I have been looking at this weapon from their website and it seems to be the one that I've always been searching for. It's not really a historical weapon at all but it is the ideal design that I've always wanted. The problem is... it's $1,000 USD. I can't really fathom how a piece of 1.25' steel with 3/16" thickness and a wrapped handle would run that much but I assume it has to do something with this patented "Advanced-Thermal processing" and S7 Shock Resistant steel.
So, my question to you all is (and this may be a shot in the dark): have any of you ever seen a similar design to this weapon? I do like the wrapped handle but mainly it is just the shape of the blade. Nice and straight with a rounded edge and then the handle is dripped down.
I'm aware that is a pretty vague specification but if anyone knows where I could get a weapon like that for a price that wouldn't put me out on the street, I would be much obliged. I'll attach the image of the weapon in question, as well.
Thank you all again so much.
