Pretty straight forward question. Does anyone have experience with this sword?
I have seen the review on this site and Triton scabbard and was just wondering if anyone else has handled or owned it.

I do not but I want one. Its very similar to the Henry V in terms of the blade type but its beefier and wider and longer....THAT is the one I want.

Yes, I want it too. Just thought I see if anyone had it and their thoughts on it.

There is one currently ( At the date of this writing 11 january 2015 ) at the A&A site, " In Stock Items" :
http://www.arms-n-armor.com/stock.html
Like throwing meat in front of a pack of hungry wolves assuming that one of you guys still has some cash left over after Xmas .....    
Means not having to wait a few weeks or months for A&A to make one to order.

I've handled one and loved it. It's a stout and muscular sword...
The only reason I don't own one is that it's just past my cutoff date for periods of interest, which I try to enforce to prevent myself from buying too many toys.

Yes, I have one, its a nice whippy little thing. A great example of a workaday battlefield tool.
Currently working on projects ranging from Elizabethan pageants to a WW1 Tank, Victorian fairgrounds 1066 events and more. Oh and we joust loads!.. We run over 250 events for English Heritage each year plus many others for Historic Royal Palaces, Historic Scotland, the National Trust and more. If you live in the UK and are interested in working for us just drop us a line with a cv.
