Will there be a price increase after the first run of 50 blades is over and done with, or will the price remain more or less the same?

It will remain the same

I found some photos of this sword, showing the blade, at this website - http://www.swordnation.com/vaknightstemplar.html

Just cracked 500 entries. Not bad odds so far. A 1 in 500 chance of winning a free sword.

;)

Anything I can do to eliminate anyone who's first name is not Marko?

I am pulling some birthday luck on this one. Surely the Fates want to provide me with this sword on my birthday :lol: .

In all honesty, I wish everyone the best of luck (just not as much as I wish myself) and may the one who is destined to have it win.

Only 4 days left to get in. ;D

So, who won the Templar? I'm very curious...

And the winner is...






























































... Roger Hooper

Congratulations.

Congratulations Roger. :D :cool:

I won? That's a rare occurance :eek:

Very cool - I have been buying Gus Trim's swords for about 10 years. I look forward to having a new one. This one is a XIIa, right? It can keep my old AT1313 company.

:surprised: :D :D :cool: :D

Congratulations Roger! I had the good fortune to handle this sword at Valiant Armoury last weekend (Sonny was gracious enough to show it to me) and I think you will really like it. The AT1415 blade with the very nice Knights Templar fittings makes for a lively and beautiful sword. :)

Lucky guy!!!!

So it has a 1415 blade? That's a versatile model. It was used for some of the CF Ranger and Borderwatch designs.

I'm filled with envy right now, but not too much of it to be able to say:

Congrats, Roger! :)

Yeah, have a lot of fun with it, Roger! :D

Congratulations Roger!
