Does anyone know of a better place to do "window shopping" than KOA? I've had great experiences buying from Arms of Valor and Sword Nation, but their pictures are just stock photos from the manufactures. (except for some sweet Valiant Armoury videos on Richard's site)
KOA doesn't have the best photos possible, but they at least take pics from multiple angles and have a consistent method. It lets me get a better feel for what a piece may look like in person before I decide to buy. Is there another site with better photos?

I personally do just as much window shopping at Imperial Weapons as I do at KoA.

Gee Whiz, fellas. There are other dealers. True fact, Rick. However... I've been sweating them out because I was standing by to order the Hanwei hand and a half (Albrecht sword) with antiqued pommel and guard and brown leather. That variant may be available elsewhere - but I haven't seen it. Does anyone happen to know? You know... just in case? Hand and a Half Antiqued Sword. There you go, Son.

I bestow karma for your fine work, and for going out of your way to accomodate a rookie.

Thanks, friends. I must admit I found it by accident. I had looked a little for that antiqued Al2 and given it up. I was looking around for a different sword and came across this one by pure chance. LOL

Hi all- It's Crystal from Kult Of Athena.com We are still in business, we are still shipping & processing orders, we are not selling the domain name & the showroom is still open. Did I cover everything? We had MAJOR server problems, anyone with a computer can understand this & it was something out of our control. We are currently having these problems fixed, but it does take some time. We hope to be back up & running fully by the end of the week. If you have questions about an item, a previous order placed or would like to place a new order please feel free to call us or send an email. 847-531-8664 Info@KultOfAthena.com Our shopping cart system is still up & running, the front end is not. If you email us we can send you a link for you to fill out all your shipping info & credit card info & you can complete your order. On a side note- We have some amazing new lower prices on Hanwei items as well as some "extras" with other top brands. Keep an eye out for a future email which will be sent out to all our customers. If you would like to be included on this update please send us an email. Once again, thank you to all our customers, we truly appreciate your patience & understanding. Cheers to a Great New Year for everyone!

Hahahah, I feel so special for starting this thread. And special as in special ed. Oh, Oh, look it rhymed!
I actually visit KoA for the same reasons Lunaman pretty much said up there. It does bother me a bit how many other vendors use stock pictures. Just nice to see how the swords look in different angles and such.

...and please visit often. The more vendor presence here the better for all, I believe.

A third vote for you to hang around! We love to hear from the vendor. I, for one, find it much easier to deal with a company if I see a representative on the board. It makes it seem less like a faceless business I'm throwing my money at.
