1 more week for entries. There have actually been very few entries this time though some surprising suggestions have been made. I'll list a few here and you guys can let me know what you think.
"The Castile" - hmm I have heard this one before somewhere
"The Hedemark" Also sounds familiar
"The Kriegschwert" Now this is getting silly
"The Malatesta" Dude! Really?
Finally "The Bristol"
Okay, so I know that there has to be a lot of people who are not familiar with our company but I would have imagined that anyone taking the time to suggest a name might at least take a look at our lineup to see how we have named our other swords before.
Just sayin'

Just call it the "Valiant" and be done with it!

*Sheepish look*
Ok, I'll admit, I was the one or one of the ones who submitted "The Castile." I DID look at your line-up, just not very closely it seems.

Or call it the " SUTTLES ", not very subtle hihihihi  ( Oh, that was " mature " of me  : Couldn't resist.   )
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Okay I had to check my sent emails to be sure, but I didn't offer any of those. Whew.
Hey Mike, I'll let you come over to my house to see it when it gets here okay, just no touching without my permission.

I'll only come over if you'll let me leave with that English longsword you make. That should be the next contest prize.

Oh geez, the suspense...
Come on Irish luck, kick in...

English luck...??
Welsh luck...????
German luck.......??????
I think I've got a little Dutch in there too....
I just love winning stuff, not that it happens all that often. And I am a 100%, dyed in the wool, genuine sword nut.

The Savoy -- that's a good name. I don't recall any other sword by any maker being called by that moniker. Congratulations to the guy that entered it.

Well congrats to the winner!
They must be the best man (or woman) cause it wasn't me.

Just started reading Perez-Reverte's Alatriste and up pops 'Malatesta'. Hmmm
I'm calling this sword 'you know you want it'. Beautiful!
