VERY nice. I really love the red grip with black risers. Is there a slight downward curve to the guard, or is that an optical illusion?

Impressive. I love some early longswords!
Is edge sharp or blunted?

Wow! Very cool... In the pictures on your site, is that "Hamon" formation?

I will agree with pretty much what everyone else said thus far. That is a really beautiful sword. I like that fuller a lot, which appears to be a bit wider than typical for a great sword, at least to my eyes...

A nice sword, if a little later than my interest. I know this is about the new sword, but I just wanted to say that I usually can't get into your website. But this link allowed me to see your gallery. Just stunning work! I would dearly love to have one of your migration era spathas. I can's say enough about the beauty of your work.

I love your Viking types swords in the gallery. The Type Q speaks to me for some reason. I am not sure how much one of these would be, but I will have to start saving my pennies.

Stunning metalwork - and I love the two tone effect on the grip. Is that actually done with separate leather? Or just very careful dying?

Damn, what a beautiful sword. Great work.
How much does it cost the owner to have you made the sword?

Simply stunning. Probably the cleanest and most majestic modern reproduction of a great sword of war I've yet seen. Nicely photographed too. Well done.

Not sure how I missed this. And I just noticed that it is bloom. Wonderful Robert. Such an inspiration.. your work will affect what I do for some time. I'm glad to see you've done this in bloom. I hesitate doing this with such long blades as the modern criteria of performance infects me.. sadly. I'm very glad to see there is interest in bringing a blade like this to life.
