while I am not a fan of tactical swords I know there are many of us who are and I just saw Gus post over at Valiant Armory's custom sword shoppe forum that he will be making a new set (limited run) of tactical swords. read all here: custom-sword-shoppe.com/forum/vi ... f=22&t=388

I kinda like a well-made tactical, but the guards are always tiny. I'd like to see something like Mr Trim's old 'tactical cutoe', but with an integral knuckle bow and riveted side-shells or counter-guards- you know for the tactical pirate . I have fantasies of commissioning something like that one day.... Cheers Marc E

I just want to be able to order the tactical willow leaf. I'm tired of drooling over shootermike's.

I´d be interested in a TAC LEAF or maybe the TAC GLAD.

where do I find pics of these? I looked around in the VA forum, but I must have missed them (also signed up and waiting for approval)

Tac leaf is on my hit parade.
I also like the idea of a tac saber.

I talked to Gus about these a day or two ago. He's still trying to decide exactly which models will be made. From the discussion it seems like he's going to limit them to 5-6 models. I also mentioned something along the line of a tactical version of a cutlass/cuttoe/short saber. He mentioned tactical kats and a tac-gladius as being pretty much a for-sure thing.

Those are the two I want, and mentioned to Gus on the CSS forums. A Tac LeafBlade and Tac Saber... ooo, boy.

Sean,
I posted on that CSS string also. Funny part is, I didn't see your post until after I made mine.

I'm a little perplexed by the fact that I think I've only seen a picture of a tactical ATrim once, and the picture was small and blurry, from what I remember. Either that, or my memory is small and blurry. :lol:
Anyways, what I wanted to ask was if anyone knows a website or something where I can see some of these tactical models that ATrim made back in the day?

here's a few of them: web.archive.org/web/200701081550 ... swords.htm looking for more looks like that's all we get: 4 pictures but some stats on the rest. I didn't look through EVERY one of the pages available but I looked at a lot and they were all the same pretty much. at least as far as pictures go. found the goose quill dao here's the sabre: and the willow leaf: found the Tac Cuttoe: hmmm willow leaf and cuttoe look like the same sword. google image search had them listed as those names one of the gims: aaaand I'm spent!

I have asked Gus (on the CSS forum) if he can clarify the difference between the cuttoe and willow leaf since they look like the same sword to me other than a slight handle mod difference.

and Gus has responded with clarification but if you want to know what he says you gotta go to the CSS forum. that is the ONLY place on the web Gus posts and I'm not going to change that.

the tac leaf is really nice looking. And a tac gladius will be sweet!

Wow, awesome! I've always liked his tactical line of swords. I would love the tactical katana or saber, myself. :mrgreen:
