A really big thank you to everyone here on the Euro subforum. I really appreciate ALL the advice, comments, and PMs I received regarding my decision about a new sword. You are gentlemen, one and all. I decided on and ordered the Valiant Armoury AT304S, and I just got confirmation that my order has been placed (thanks Paul!) ;D I am very excited about it....but now I am hoping they mix the boxes up and send me a nice looking Custom Shoppe 304....like the one that darkwood got . If you haven't seen it, go take a look. Debbie

Does the SBG store carry the second generation of the 304S?

I do love my custom Deb, but I still want one of the standard 304s to add to my collection as well. The clean lines and no-nonsense design leave you with no question as to just what that sword was designed for.

I know for a fact that they were selling the 303S and 304S in brown at least, because KOA still has some in brown. I think that I read somewhere that they were being offered in oxblood too, or else it was an option on the ordering page of swordnation or valiant armoury before they got changed up. I suppose that I will just have to talk to Mr. Sonny.

;D I kind of like this sword anticipation feeling! I will be sure to post when it comes and let everyone know about it. I am pretty busy at lab these days (hoping to make up for some lost time) so I might be kind of scarce until then... Debbie

Hey Deb, great choice of swords, you won't be disappointed I think, I always wanted one of these in green (right up until the regal line started coming out). Look forward to seeing some cutting from you with this bad boy.

Debbie Congrat's on getting passed the hard part Debbie..........making the choice! I am sure that this sword is a good choice and I hope that it agrees with your personal style and tastes. You will of coarse make this blade look good. I am looking forward to the video?

It should be here any day now! ;D Hairu, That malatesta is a real beauty, I almost waited for it. Coming out in December IIRC. I am also very interested to see what they offer at the custom shoppe, but then again, I think I might rather have an Atrim without all the trimmings first. Thanks BW and US, I will certainly try my hand at cutting with it

Make sure to tell us what you think about it when your longsword arrives, and of course, post a video.

It Came! It Came! So far, I love it! I got such awestruck feeling upon opening this box - I am sure I had a dumbass grin on my mug Feels nice in the hand No cutting yet - too late last night when I got home- and I am going out of town, so I won't have much chance to play with it for a bit. I will post some more about it after I get back. Debbie
