I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this already, but A&A has some nice new custom stuff on their website. Of particular interest to me are the German hunting bough and the 7-ring rapier. Lovely stuff!

Nice. The grip, and cross on the hunting sword look like they would be murder on the hands though.

Both look neat at the very least.
I like some of the alternative grip materials people do from time to time.

I once owned a knife with an antler handle of that exact shape. It was the very first custom piece I ever bought, years and years ago. Unfortunately it was stolen by movers when I got out of the Navy. The grip was extremely comfortable and secure.

Hm. That reminds me. I have a knife with just such a grip that I need to put up for sale. Thanks!

That katzbalger-hilted two-hander they're offering looks really nice too--I wonder if they would be willing to inscribe the blade with the "Lost all my money gambling" motto, as per the infamous Urs Graf drawing!

It's been around for a few months at least. I think they may even have made an announcement here somewhere...
