I should probably introduce myself before I get into the real 'meat' of the post. so here goes.
I'm fairly active on SFI, but I've been visiting this site on and off since it was just a place to download the comparison tool. Since then, I've been reading the forums occasionally, and checking every so often for a new review.

Anyway, I thought this might be a good place to try and sell a sword of mine...

I got the aforementioned Hastings some time last year, and spent the first few weeks marveling at how nice it was. Over time, though, I found that it just isn't made for me; my hands are too big for the grip, and it's best suited to cutting the kinds of things I wouldn't want mar the finish with. Anyway, I've decided that I'd like to sell it, or else trade it for a sword that would be better suited to the stuff I like to cut.

The sword itself is in exceptional condition, aside from some tiny specks of black rust (0.5-1mm wide) within 1" of the tip, that may be gone by the time of my shipping the sword. There aren't any scratches from the light cutting I've done.

What I'm looking for is $350 shipped in the continental US (that's about $130 less than a new one), or else...well, any Atrim, but I'm open to all sorts of other makers. Email me at Galethorn@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

The sword has been sold!
