A little on the small side for my tastes.

Yeah either blade should be few more inches longer or the grip should be shorter but still very beautiful. Albion should make fantasy swords for sure.

I got to see and hold this sword last year at the Albion booth at Chicago Comic Con. Lars was there and I got to talk to him about the Bloodstone sword and several Jody Samson swords he had with him.

I agree, it is on the small side, but it seems to be in scale with the sword in the artwork that inspired it. I fell in love with the sword the minute I put it in my hand. I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to the Albion site to stare at the pictures of this particular sword and been tempted to make the call to put mine on order. I keep talking myself out of it, and it never fails, I end up finding an ATrim begging to be bought. (or a Castle Keep ranger, or a Michael Pikula XII, or a Jody Samson, etc. etc.).

Comic Con is just a month away and I sure would like to put an order in then, but... I just went to the season opening of the Bristol Ren. fair last weekend and the A&A booth had a few "one off" custom pieces based on the Black Prince blade that dropped my jaw. One of them has been on my mind all week. The horror.

Was not bought.
