I kept picking this model up over and over at the Atlanta Blade show. I was really fond of it..

Sweet! I would go for a slightly more spatulate point, myself, but wouldn't mind picking it up if someone threw that one at me.

It, like all its siblings is very nice.

Thanks to Harlan and Alan, I got to handle the squire (among other Albion swords) at the Sterling Renaissance Faire earlier this summer. Those swords really put into perspective just how far Albion has brought the production sword business. They were absolutely wonderful to look at and handle. Congratulations on the squire. It is one hell of a sword. I was partucularly impressed by the handling differences between the prince and squire despite both swords having the same blade.

Well, from what I remember, the prince felt a bit livelier and quicker in the hand, more of a finesse weapon. The squire felt like it balanced further out, more of a hard hitter. If I were living back in the day and had to go into battle with one of these two swords, I'd probably opt for the squire. If I were having a sword and buckler duel, on the other hand, I'd use the prince. They both felt great but each had their own personality if you will.

Thanks Jay. Very interesting how small changes can make perceptible differences.
