Weapon Edge swords were available through stromlowswords, but now stromlow is no more. How can one get swords from weapon edge now?

If you're not a Jodphur local you'll never know what the real dirt is on the Chouhan clan. There are rival groups offering the same swords under two different venues: WeaponEdge International and Universal Swords.
Universal seems to have inherited the engineering brains in the family as they have enlarged their portfolio with more type weapons.
In the five years of collecting I went thru about 20 of WEIs swords; stll own 12 ( I think ) I watched WEI screw with and cause the ruin of any number of their agents; including Ron Sanford's StromloSwords.
Check out the UNiversal Sword offerings at Kult of Athena. You can even get yours sharpened there if you want.
What's the difference in fit and finish between the two companies? Not a damn thing.
WEI and Historical Relics direct buy may be WEI in a cheap disguise. I've used the service Fast ship out of Johdpur in less than 5 days to US via DHL.
PM me for more dirt. :mrgreen:

I read it here that Stromlow was closed. Maybe I misunderstood.

Hey guys, yep business is over. I am still around and haven't changed my user Id for three main reasons, can't figure out how, no one would know me and the Conan project is still running.
My advice would be to buy from whoever you can find with items IN STOCK. waiting for them is the hardest part. Which model are you looking at?
Cheers!

I believe KoA now offers Universal Swords products, which are essentially identical to WeaponEdge's...

Perhaps you might want to try with Military Heritage? I think they have some on stock. They say it's not from Weaponedge but it looks so much like the same thing it's got to be coming from India anyways. Cheers

MHI is the Canadian distributor for Universal Swords. It's all Chouhan Brothers output, qulitatively WEI and USI are the same.
