Hey, haven't kept up with the sword market much lately. As in, for about four years now. How has Valiant's Signature line fared? They all looked great when the line was starting out, but time goes on so no idea if they've held their value.
I've also noticed KoA doesn't sell them anymore - are they direct purchase only now?
Thanks,
M.

A number of reviews have been posted on here in the last year, they've mostly been very positive.
You can buy their swords through customswordshoppe.com and the VA Facebook page.

I recently bought a custom Malatesta w/a peened pommel - couldn't be more pleased with it. Sonny was great to deal with, and the whole package was extremely well put together. Saving up some scratch to get some more when the time comes.

The Sig Line is still pretty excellent quality and the customer service is top notch if there are issues. The biggest compliant I would have is that measurement info pertaining to weight is a bit off on the old Custom Sword Shoppe site but otherwise you get what you expect for the most part. The most recent Sig Line sword I bought from them was a Knight's Templar and it felt lighter and more flexy than I thought but otherwise, very graceful and sturdy.
I don't think you'll be disappointed unless you were expecting Albion blade geometry and details. VA Sig Line is a gold standard category of its own at this price point.

Last time I checked in on this line, there were fewer swords and the custom sword shoppe was just getting on the market...no wonder KoA doesn't carry them anymore, there's loads of options! That makes them a much more attractive option to my eye at the price point.
Now to ferret away cash for a couple of these...

I have a Bristol and a Norwich Falchion and I'm happy with both of them.
