Chuckinohio already did the reveiw on this new release thru T&TA. Ordered mine same time as the XVIa. Other folks were faster on the draw. Got a message from Hiroshi offering to polish out the fullers for $45 extra. I sent him a no need reply, but then felt a need to send another msg to explain I really would prefer that Gus make the call as to whether he wanted to stop the flow for the extra work entailed in finishing the blade. I was happy either way. So it stayed unfinished. Although this is a single hander it has a very ample 33 inch blade. The hex blade gives a great sense of sturdiness. The sword moves very well. If you aren't satisfied with it's maneuverability the thick ricasso is there to reach over the guard. Scabbard prop belongs to my Windlass 15th Century Sword and it does actually fit. Another really nice addition to the family.

Glad you like her Dave, that sword has been one of my favorites since I starting distributing Gus' swords.
I reccomend to everybody to watch for the new models that Gus is making, so far each and every new model he has come up with has been nothing short of fantastic. His old models are still really good but the new models have a flare and character to them that has been missing in ATrims of the past. and yes, there are more new models to come.
