 |
|
Hi,
I've not really been active in the community for a while. The last time I spoke to Vladimir Cervenka (www.sword.cz) was a decade ago, and I can tell his website hasn't changed much since. So has anyone spoken to him recently and know if he's still in business?
Thanks.
Regards,
Sonni

He recently sent me a dagger four months after my ordering it.

Those of you who recently received orders from him, how long did you have to wait from start to finish?

I Western Unioned him my payment on 2/15. The payment arrived in his account on 2/23. He notified me that he had shipped the dagger on 5/20. I'll post about it when it arrives. I had him leave off the grip because I like to do my own in Mammoth ivory (for all of my applicable weapons), so it may have gone a little bit faster than normal.

Karl, do you have any pictures of it? Always looking for new messers

Hi Karl,
That's a nice messer. I just found out his current delivery time is about a year still. I assume you're happy with your purchase and thought it was worth the wait?
Regards,
Sonni

My quillon/knightly dagger came today. I must have screwed up the unit conversion because I had somehow been expecting a 12" blade that I would have been able to maybe sheath on to my custom shoulder rig. It is actually a 15" blade. At 21", over all, my holdout skill is going to need to be bumped up a bit to conceal it;-) It is longer than any sparring dagger I have ever sparred with as well. I am doing a lot of looking at it from different angles and going "hmmm":-|
I am satisfied with it though. It is, in all other ways, what I expected.
