Hi Craig!

I think you're going to need to make more than a couple. Wink

Yours,

They look quite similar to the ones I did for Bill Grandy pictured here with some slight changes and a lighter weight.


Yep, those two that Craig is pointing out are the prototypes that I keep bringing to every Western Martial Arts event I go to, and everyone was always very excited about. Well, if you're one of the people who like the ones I have, you're going to be blown away with the current production models.

I commissioned these with the main intent of getting a more affordable training messer on the market, and I knew I needed to put my money where my mouth was. I talked with Craig a lot about what the market really needed with these, but I had no idea Craig would be able to produce the best messer trainers I've ever handled while also being the cheapest messer trainers on the market (at least in the USA). So hats off to A&A for producing this much needed tool at such an affordable price.

If you were thinking about buying a messer trainer, *THIS* is the one to get.
