No numbers yet. I'm as eager to take some measurements as you guys are :D Once it arrives I'll take some and post them up.

Agreed that Christian outdid himself on the hilt. It's better than even I imagined.

The blade is by Albion. It's the same blade they use on their Huskarl sword.

I'll try taking some more pictures too. Christian did a wonderful job with the photos though.

Pic thread:

This custom A&A 'Ulfbehrt' / DBK scabbard combo recently changed hands - from Tim Lison to myself.

A lot has already been said about this sword but I will try to update photos of it with my Brazil Nut collection sometime. In the meantime, here are some older photos from A&A and DBK.

I took the plunge and bought an Albion, this is my first. The Senlac in light campaign brown.

Thanks to Craig Peters, Will Swiger and Patrick Kelly for giving me valuable input during my decision making process. Thanks guys.

I posted this up before the site went back in time, but here ii is again.

Viktor is awesome, and makes great stuff.

Today I came home from a very rough day at work to find this guy, the Arms and Armor English Longsword, boxed up in the door yard. I've admired this sword in pictures for years, but this is the first time I've seen any of their work in person (except a brief encounter with the Danish War Axe at the Higgins) and believe me when I tell you that I am not disappointed in the least. This sword feels exceptionally well balanced and usable in hand and looks fantastic. What a beauty! A shame my phone pics won't do her justice.

I have just bought a new sword from ElGur company, which is actually replacement for my previous one. It was inspired by Oakeshott’s Xa swords, the pommel is type H and cross – the guard style 4 (similar to guard you may have seen on one of Patrick Barta swords). I hope that construction of this sword is historically accurate. The scabbard has a wooden core.



Weight: 1,26 kg
Total length: 102 cm
Blade length: 84,5 cm
POB: 11cm from the guard

I can't comment on the sword's accuracy, but that scabbard looks quite nice! Well-fitted and cleaned up, with a nice, real-world feel

The last sword I bought is a blunt one for training purposes.
It´s the Hastings from the Czech blacksmith Pavel Moc.
It is nicely balanced and quite light for a blunt blade (ca. 1150 g)

I really like the swords of Pavel Moc. They are well balanced, easy to handle.
From that workshop I also have the Dürer and a customized Howe with a different pommel and a longer blade.

Picked up a preowned Laird from Kult of Athena. One of my favorite Albions and Kult of Athena is excellent to deal with.
