I'm not sure why it took me this long to start bragging, but here goes. A couple of weeks ago I
received the Hastings type X that I ordered from Albion before Christmas. Wow! What a beauty.
Everything about it impresses me. Fit and finish. Handling. Cutting. It's all good. This is my first
Albion, but not my last by a long shot. I had reserved a Duke before Christmas, and now after
getting the Hastings, I can hardly wait.
