In time.... 
I have reservations about cutting anything other than mats, fruit, veggies, ect. None of which were available that day. I have others swords for heavy cutting practice, all of which will be highlighted on our website at some point.

Cropping and less harsh lighting would probably help - but it is still a beautiful sword, and the photos are good enough to arouse the envy of your fellow forumites!

Thanks
My Wife will be helping me take some better shots soon. We'll set up some backdrops with controlled lighting. Her really sweet Canon digital helps a lot too. These were just some quickies for now.

Awesome, Gary!
Not that I have any spare cash these days, but MAN, that Svante has become more and more tempting to me as of late for some reason...

Sad isn't it? We spend all that money to buy a truly exemplary sword that isn't a wall hanger and it's very expense in effect turns it back into a wall hanger...  At least for me. I've cut a few pool noodles and that's probably all it will ever be used for. The thing is just to darned expensive to screw it up with my amateurish cutting on something or other. I know that doesn't hold for everyone and if there's a sword I had to haul off to battle expense would suddenly become no object but for now "my isn't it pretty..."
