Mike,
How do you like your Squire? I am looking to pick one up and you are one of the few people who I have seen who has one.

I just recieved this on Mon., thanks to some good fortune and a patient forumite-my apologies for the poor photo quality.

Well after cutting just about everything from pool noodles to plastic milk jugs to my last mats I'd have to say get one. She's a great handling, GREAT cutting sword. And you know it's the swords with simple,lines that always speak to me the most so to me she's quite the looker too.

Thank you for the reply Mike. I agree about swords with simple lines which the Squire definitely is. There is something about it that is just brutally simplistic that calls to me.

Yes the squire is a very handsome XIV,
Especially with a red grip, but that's just my opinion, :D

Actually the Squire is a XVI I believe. And I was thinking oxblood myself. :D

I finally received my Albion Valkyria - number 100 of the series and it is a beautiful piece.

Ah, you are correct! I must brush up on my typology!

I would have to say my last sword purchased was a long time ago, when I was much younger and spent money less responsibly. It was a British light cavalry sabre with a stirrup hilt from the mid-19th century. It is not in great condition, but it is an antique and I like having it around.
Many of you must earn significantly more than I in order to afford such lovely weapons. The price of swords has increased significantly since I first started collecting. No doubt it is due to the increased costs of materials, increased demand since the 90's, and artisans wanting rightly to get compensated well for their labor.
I would donate body parts to science for some of the blades pictured in this thread.

Not so much correct as drooling over the Squire on Albion's site. A great looking blade no matter what type it is!

My last sword was a good old Binns... My next will be an ARMA sword and then following that another Binns.
Pics to follow...
Gotta love the Binns!
Any pictures of your last Binns yet?
Not a sword but a couple of pics of the spear that I got from Paul a couple of days ago (before and after delivery). 9th/10th century Saxon style based on a find in Cambridgeshire.
Cheers,
Darrin.

I got a winged spear from Paul a while ago, and when I saw the pattern welded ones on the site, I actually regret not getting one of those instead. But still, I love mine, and who knows? I might as well just get another one in the future. ;)

Mike, what is the grip colour? The Reeve is one of those swords that is so simple yet so good looking. What stands out on it is how much of the blade is fullered.
Have a Reeve too, with light brown grip. This sword is fantastic. Compared to my Yeoman, that is only slightly shorter, the Reeve feels much more solid and brutish. It is really nice to wield. Have fun with it!
