Windlass Steelcrafts Langeid Viking Sword. Better than the usual Windlass. But, still a Windlas. Next to Albion Valkyrja for size comparison.

I got one too :) How is your sharpening ? Is it inconsistent? Are there waves on the inside that distort the profile of the blade a little?

The fullers seem to be straighter. There is still ripples in the blade, but not as pronounced. The blade finish is straight up Windlass shiny, not satin like the pictures on their website. The sharpening is a bit inconsistent looking hand sharpened and had a slight burr that came off with 2500 grit paper and is really sharp. The hilt furniture is covered in a lacquer like substance. The wire grip is done well but I did have to file down a couple sharp parts on the twisted wire at both ends of the grip.
