Oh my.

I love the aesthetics provided by the combination of blade and guard (love that blade Howy) and I even like that ring pommel, which I normally hate. I know one person who's going to be thrilled with this and he'd better let me play with it!

I like that sword so much I just ordered one. Great lines - same blade for the Markgraf and Hauptmann I imagine

Impressive Eek! Eek! Cool

The blade is also impressive and interesting that it is going to be used for a few different swords.

Not a sword that had any particular appeal to me in the drawings but it's gorgious Cool

Thanks Howy for just making them better and better.

Don't normally like ring hilts, but that one looks nice.

I love that blade. I can't wait to see the shorter version on the Condottierre and the Doge!

I shed a tear for the cutlers and the guys putting the final polish on the blades. I think there is a great value for the dollar in this one Cool

I'm very eager to see the Condotierre and the compound-hilted longswords featuring the longer blade.

I never gush over new swords. I don't really like ring hilts. I am forced to break both traditions. This is a beautiful sword, it's just awesome... the blade is stunning, the ring looks stout and well executed, the gaurd is just magnificent.

Yes, this turned out superb. Though, I'm ringhilt biased. What amazes me is that this sword is only a little over 2.5 lbs! That's super light for a sword of these proportions. Mike and I may eventually need to have a talk about this fella!

Saw the thread title, cheerfully clicked to satisfy my curiosity...
...Ooooh.
I am impressed, I was momentarily taken aback by how it substantially exceeded my expectations. For such an attractive blade a limited edition of 100 suddenly seems small.

Anyway, congrats, this one turned out very nice.
