One question though; what type of finish is on the guard? In some of your pictures it almost looks red, although it could be the light, but it adds a wonderful aesthetic to a gorgeous piece. Vince did an incredible job! |
Thanks Robert !
The hilt is browned, but the light does play tricks with the color !
A beauty indeed ! Mac

Once again, I absolutely love Vince's execution and design decisions on this sword. He has a wonderful grasp for proportion, form, and line. Your new claymore is among my favorite swords I've seen produced, perhaps being right behind the SW11 basket-hilt he's produced and my own lowland hilt. I personally am very fond of the swords with long grips, really liking the leverage and pivot-point action that they provide.
Very nice work.
And that group photo of your full Vince Evans Scottish sword collection is a hell of a thing, let me tell you.

Dont ya just luv group shots *g*
I did forget to include my sgian achlais, & the 3 little knives Vince made us ( Vince noticed my error :-) , so I'll have to do a better layout next time !
I really need a better lens (perhaps a wide angle ?) to capture more detail with these kind of pics!
