I just spent the last half hour drooling over the stuff on your website. Very nice work!

Dear Josh,
I wonder what's your relationship to A&A?
I ask because at least one of your pieces (which are very nice) appears to be identical to a 'muster' product A&A had for sale last year, in dimensions, style, and finish.

Hello JD,
I used to work full time for A&A. I was their blade grinder and sometimes custom sword guy. I have since started my own business focusing much more on armor particularly the 15th C.
Our relationship is still very good as we both collaborate on projects here and there. The sword you are thinking of was on their 'muster' page last year but some changes have been made to it.
Josh

Thanks for clarifying that. Probably you have worked on some of my swords in the past. -JD

Hi Josh,
I'm sorry I haven't heard of your business before this thread-- but, make no mistake, you have my attention now!
That Writhen longsword fittings looked great on A&A's Bohemian sword, but I really like their proportions on this Longsword of yours-- a very "natural" fit, like they just "fell into place"!
On your website, your "Leeds" Pole axe looks absolutely masterful!
Attractive price points, too, I might add...

Is the longsword pommel held in place by a pommel nut?

Hello Joe,
Yes it is secured with a pommel nut. It is constructed the same way A&A constructs their swords.
