They remind me of the MacAllen swords. The website also reminds me a bit of MacAllen's.

Claymore Armoury has been discussed here before. The Search function will find a few threads.

I highly recommend against using him, based on my experience. He kept 400 pound deposit from me for two swords. We were in the very initial discussion stages and I did not come to an agreement, so he kept both deposits. He tried to say he started the blades on both which was a crock of crap. We didn't even come to an agreement. I wish I had never sent the deposit until there was enough initial discussion. I sent the deposit money prematurely on good faith.

Keep in mind he will only make dull swords and none sharp. He tries to side-step a bit on this saying it is not important and that is 'close enough' But that is a personal preference, one which I do not agree with. In any case, I wasted 400 pounds.

I've had nothing but success dealing with Arms and Armor, Ollin Swords, Christian Flectcher, Albion, etc...

Few of the pieces look very nice,till you consider the details mentioned above,
Chris,
sounds like pretty bad service overall,
i can understand a maker saying they've done work etc,but the makers i've purchased from would rather swop your deposit to something like a high end knife or premade stock item if not able to reimburse you,any mention of that ?;
£400 is serious money,

of the better known scotish makers i've dealt with,rob at castlekeep has been above and beyond in all dealings,
the guys at armourclass have been very good,
paul macdonald has always been pleasant and informative,yet to purchase,but his hiltwork looks great,
personally,its nice to be able to go back and read old threads i'd missed and make a mental note of a maker that doesnt fit the bill,for one reason or another,as opposed to the thread being removed or lost due to awkward content,
didnt catch the thread first time around,
a bad thread about a maker only stays bad if they dont address the situation,
plenty have had issues,but its the after service etc,that can make or break the maker,

Thanks for the input Chris. You own several of his pieces, correct? If so what are your opinons of the quality of work, not taking into account your bad experience.....................Larry
