What info has anyone got on these? There doesn't seem to be much out there beyond the Windlass sales blurb- for example: www.thesteelsource.com/html/mr500910.htmDoes anyone have one? There don't seem to be too many of them for sale anywhere - but it doesn't look like its been discontinued either. I looked for, but couldn't find a review anywhere. I kind of like the look - longish straight blade, but single edged. Thanks- Buff

Doesn't look like its been reviewed here; you might try www.myarmoury.com to see if they've reviewed it. I'd check for you but I can't see that site from work. Good luck; I've seen those for sale in the MRL catalog...you could try going there too.

Yes, discontinued a few months ago. Another known forumite scooped up what was left at MRL for project blades. I still have it on a long list of buys and had asked here anout that same time as its being discounted.
Mr. Mike felt it was ungainly and perhaps knowing my tastes, have still kept it in mind. The typically Windlass (a bit) hoky look to the sword might grow on me as well but I was fairly impressed with the possibilities myself. I did note some are still listed as limited availability. I would call any site listing them before ordering and maybe being dissapointed.
They had been last chanced at MRL for $!95 or $175. Something like that.
Cheers
Hotspur; mebbe Mike still has one kicking around he would part with

Shootermike reviewed this sword but I can't find it. Maybe you can fire him a p.m.

Yep, I still have it. I keep thinking I will reuse the hilt pieces, but they are really the problem. The guard is VERY heavy and throws the harmonics and balance all outa whack. All-in-all, it is a very slow handling sword.
