yeah ive seen that too...it does resemble boromirs sword but i dont think it has captured any of the beauty of the origional, actually while i do like some of DSA's swords...im not a fan of their LOTR replicas. The United Cutlery practical versions are carbon steel and "supposedly" full tang. I have no reason to doubt this...just because their origional ones were crap.

Arms of Valor has the DSA Elven sword in stock, and is the exclusive US retailer of DSA. AoV is also the only retailer to offer sharpening on DSA swords, and is based in Florida.

I'm not sure what that means, "Exclusive US Retailer"... because the SBG sword store ships them out of Quebec, Canada with free shipping to anywhere in North America. True, it's technically based in Australia... and you are right about the sharpening option. But the last sword I ordered from AoV cost $70 in shipping, and while I'm not sure what it normally costs to ship within the States by UPS I think it's probably more than free. More DSA swords are being added to the SBG store in the near future.

I don't want to get in a battle over prices and shipping with Paul. We both sell swords to make a living and are very good friends.
As for the shipping I am not sure what or where $70 for shipping was charged unless it was international or expedited. Please clarify to why the charges were so high and if it was caused by a problem or error we will fix it.
The reason we, AoV, charges shipping on DS swords is the fact that we pay to ship them from Canada to us and also pay the import tariffs. This provides faster shipping times within the US and we do not pass the tariff fees onto the customers.
Yes, we can arrange for you to pick up a sword as well as try them all out before you buy. We are in Niceville. Just give us a call at 888-477-9673.

I get the same $70 shipping charge to Canada everytime I attempt to place an order from you guys. It just shows up as the only option.

I am not sure why, but it may be a glitch in the shopping cart.
If you would like to order please give us a call or e-mail and we can give you the exact shipping amount based on weight and dimensions of swords.

The place you are in is actually called Niceville? I don't even know what to say...
Not trying to "start anything" between you and the SBG store, just trying to say that I didn't and still don't understand what "Exclusive US Retailer" meant in this context.

AoV is the only retailer in the United States that carries DSA swords. So my point was, if you live in Florida, and he lives in Florida, it would make sense to order from AoV. If you order from the SBG store outside of Canada, you get hit with the cross-border importation tariff. So shipping really isn't free, despite what is stated. My Norman was ordered out of the SBG store, and when UPS arrived it came with a bill for importation of goods.

I guess living in Canada makes me pretty used to cross-border tariffs, since the vast majority of the swords we order are from the states. How much was the tariff on your Norman, Brian?
