Veeeeery nice scabbard Russ. That wide belt must have been a pain to work with.
Had the chance to feel some of Angel Swords blades in Texas this summer and I can say the every one I held (7-8 different types) were all "odd feeling". Some were heavy like that one, others felt light as a feather. Nothing wrong with any of them, just not what I was used to. Thanks for the review and showing the great work you are doing with those scabbards and belts!


Thanks Greg,

It's good to get some confirmation that it's not just my subjective feeling but my subjective feeling AND yours. Happy

Also, unless someone had actually tried building a scabbard themself they would not realize just exactly what a pain in the rear that wide belt was on the scabbard constructed. If I might say so I thought you did a very nice job on your first effort (much nicer then my own first attempt).

No reviews this time, just a couple of pictures of some new stuff.

First a Maelstrom Line scabbard from my old Albion Duke. I say my old Albion Duke because it has since gone on to a new owner. If you all recall it was also originally Gordon Clark's old Albion Duke, presented to him by Albion for some stuff he did for them. I'm always fascinated by the travels swords had both in antiquity and today.




Second we have a Trident Line Set of Arms and Armor Katzbalger and Katzbalger dagger. A really fun set to work with. It's always neat to do something different. Oddly I have another Katzbalger scabbard also, almost done. Weird how I seem to get sword types in groups rarely singly...

I think you mean Lloyd Clark, don't you?

Well it's been a while since I've posted an update... but you have to admit it's a pretty substantial update. Go check it out and see what you think...



www.tritonworks.com

Also this next year look for some interesting new stuff from Tritonworks including a completely new (or rather old) take on making scabbards using an alternative method and a couple other new items that I've been meaning to get into for years now.

Looks nice and clean and easy to navigate and easy to compare at a glance the options and approximate price ranges.

So, did you officialy buy Patrick's Vince Edward's double fullered sword. Eek!
http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=8530

If yes, good for you and I know the sword will have a good home. Cool Although I think it's already been reviewed here you might add your own review of it on your site.

Hey Jean,

Thanks! It was just brought to my attention that when one changes the DNS entries it takes some time for the change to filter through the web. Therefore all of you may not be able to see the new site yet. Check back in a day or two if you are still seeing the same thing? Happy Anyway Jean, yes I did buy Patrick's sword although I've got to get the money to him still! Happy It's going to be a bit of a squeeze since this one was unplanned and (but heck when was the last time you saw a Vince Evans medieval sword on sale?) I've got some other things on order as well, so you may see a few nice items up for sale from me in the next few months, depends on if I can put the money together to hang on to all my stuff and also get the new ones.

This is something I am especially looking forward to, an "Ultra High End Full Throttle Custom Plaque Belt and Scabbard System" from Russ. I have a feeling it should help him with his acquisitions. Laughing Out Loud
As I have no price ceiling on my order, just waiting for an estimate but there is no hurry, and the order will most probably be paid for in it's entirety before it's even started.

Russ, my wife and I having seen your work in person at the Renaissance Faire, your craftsmanship is nothing short of "incredible"!

I am so looking forward to this!


Bob

Hey, Russ,

I like the new web site design - it has a nice bright look to it. Maybe its because blue is my favorite color. Cool

Well here's my very own first update of my spiffy new website, in the review section. It turned out to be a lot easier then I thought mostly due to the good design of the gentlemen who put it together for me.

Russ,
Thanks for the review on the DT2130. I have one with the Museum Replicas era CK55 Krupp blade, and next to my Albion, it is my favorite sword in my collection.

My pleasure. I'm going to attempt to do one of these a night for a while until I get my backlog under control. I've had far to many of those "coming soon" tags up on reviews for far too long. Happy

Okay as promised, some more reviews... so far I've been able to stick to my one a night schedule...

First up the Albion Solingen. Pretty good timing I guess since I noted that Jeremy just got one in that he ordered.



http://www.tritonworks.com/reviews?content=re...on_soligen

Next we have the Albion Vinland Viking


http://www.tritonworks.com/reviews?content=re...on_vinland

Finally we have Vladimir Cervenka's take on the ranger sword from the Lord of the Rings movies (at least that is the assumption I made about its origins)

Russ,
Your review of the Vinland mentions that the grip is leather over "fine twine." The Duke review mentiones something similar. It's not done that way in the NG line. The wooden grips are wrapped with leather, and then temporarily over-wrapped with cord to leave a corded impression on the leather.

Happy

Thanks for the information. That was an assumption I made based on the appearance I've certainly never dissected one of their handles (customers get irate about that sort of thing). I'll amend the reviews accordingly.
