Oh God! Yet another!
You're killing me.

A poorly maintained weapon is likely to belong to an unsafe and careless fighter.

Whoa! I've never seen the combination of a "cocked hat" pommel with a "spike" cross (gaddhjalt) before!
I gotta say-- it works! Better than I would have ever expected!
And that blade-- the phrase "reach out and touch someone" comes to mind!
Well done, sir.

This is a very nice version - I particularly like the grip and overall proportions.

What have you done Pan Mateusz Sulowski? Surely, you have sold your soul to the Devil in order to make even more beautiful swords; capable of easily slaughtering one thousand foes...Hopefully they all fall into honourable hands!!!

I agree 100% with Jeremiah S.---There's NOTHING about that XI that just doesn't totally work. That pommel--that grip--that guard--that blade--and that super sweet scabbard...I honestly believe it's as close to a perfect sword as I will ever see. Thanks a lot, M.S.---I think you may have ruined me for life. I might never look at custom swords in the same light again. ....McM

That is an incredible reproduction of an incredible sword.

I actually did see that thread, but all I did was look at the pretty pictures, and my focus was on the pommel, not the cross. On my screen they kind of looked like regular, "blocky" straight crosses. But, now that I look a little closer, I do see the taper to the tips of the cross now. Thanks!

I agree, Tod. This is sensory-overload at the highest degree. I'm beginning to think he didn't really build all of these masterpieces....he built a time machine and went back and got 'em! .......McM
