I didn't realize these were stainless, but I'm happy I just bought the Windlass Crusader Chopper because otherwise I'd hop on this. If this was the Cobra Kindjal I'd still buy it. From what I hear this series is the best deal on swords at sub 100.
One small note. Emailed Windlass asking if the tang goes all the way under the rubber grip because I planned on modifying one and they said "sorry, we dont offer changes from the default configuration." When I clarified I didn't want them to modify, but rather know how long the tang was so I could, they stopped responding. lol

Oh boy... that probably means this series is going to keep finding itself in my home bit by bit. I especially like the look of their Kindjal. Being able to strip it down and put some really cheeki breeki furniture on it? So great.

lol whaaatt... it was obviously a Sting ripoff but then I looked at the "flame" design (ever heard of those fire enamored elves??) and saw the horrible rings motif. Blechhhh. Apparently there are three rings to rule them all in the Marto universe. And flame elves

Apparently there are three rings to rule them all in the Marto universe. And flame elves United Cutlery/Marto continue to have Tolkien/LOTR licensing. I'd say that allows them the right to make as many models of similar swords they care to. The more recent Peter Jackson movies gave a rebirth of Sting and brought along some other swords. I still see the old full size (larger than the UC Sting) Frodo sword and now a miniature. UC had another run of Sting. At any rate, a little disappointing for a Friday pick and I hope it is not a cloak and stick weekend.

I would imagine even if they didn't have the rights they could still make this abomination.

Got a kindjal in recently and this is an awesome line for the price. Just wish the kopis and falcata were closer to originals in profile.

I have always said, if I just had the right coat, I could go out and hunt witches. Looks like my prayers have been answered!!!!

That's a good sword for anyone wanting a cheap beater sabre. Just a thin grip is all.
