[Jean Thibodeau]

Oh, just in case people haven't noticed Kult of Athena is carrying many Tinker swords, knives or daggers that are " In Stock " immediately available.

I personnel have a few things bought from Tinker in the past including a very nice differentially tempered type 17 longsword that is of excellent quality.

One issue with Tinker in the past was that with many custom makers delivery date estimates where sort of "missed", but the quality of the work was never an issue: So buying from a reliable vendor like Kult of Athena of in stock custom work is a real advantage.

Also this is custom work at prices competitive with high quality small production makers like Albion or Arms & Armour.
