Nice single life you have. No info on Atrim in photo. Except for the new atrims in newsletter, according to SBG, his swords are only on used market now. Not even a webpage to see all his work. I googled the pic from very old classified ad. Wish he had an apprentice to take over for him. Single?! Not since my twenties! I've been a dad & married for the last 7yrs. Awww dookie, that is a great tacti-cool Euro sword. Angus is OCD (most great artists are) and I think he's too much of a perfectionist to let someone else forge under his auspices. I'm not saying he wouldn't take anyone under his wing, it's just that HIS designs are HIS, and if he had an apprentice......that apprentice would have to make a style all his own. I know "way to go Captain Obvious" right??

What is wrong with us? I'm SO slow, why not ask Van if they can make an inexpensive, black Bladed (that I KNOW for a fact they do!!) "tacticool" Jian?! If you want I'll ask him too. I know for a fact they WANT more custom work, and right now they really need positive exposure!

Yeah! Like their Han Jian double edge, fullered, sword blades, but black blade, black no frills handle and black no frills black scabbard or cheap black sheath?

Yeah, that would be one vicious sword. Even ninjas would be too scared to come out to play.

Although I understand that some techniques of using a long two-handed sword involved holding the blade with your hand, one reason for having a sharp blade on a sword that is otherwise a poor cutter is so the other fellow can't or won't grab your blade. And hopefully, he won't have a sword-grasping gauntlet.
I'm assuming the opponent is a man.

I would like a longer version of the tactical sword he made several years ago. See pic I was told that this is one of the models they will be bringing back.

Bennett - They are bringing this back? Nice. ....a longer (at least 30 inch, wider blade) version would be nicer!

Like In Rob Roy, in final duel scene, Rob grabs the rapier blade with his bare hand then cleaves the basta*d with his basket hilt sword! Love that scene.

But then you'd have to walk around like a "human sundial" until one took "the bait." 😜

Blade Runner Yes, Blake Pogue told me that this is one of the 11 future designs. I think they'll have a longer Medieval style, but probably not exactly like this. Not 100% sure on that though

Holy smokes, it's like Pocahontas and a red haired green-eyed Irish princess all wrapped into one! I'd make a howling wolf noise, but then I'd have to let you sock me in the kisser LOL Man 20 years, you my good sir deserve a medal......a Golden Globe.....Hell, a Nobel Peace Prize (but mostly cause the Nobel comes with a $1,000,000 check)!! Good for you and her......what's sad is I just started to clap and then realized you couldn't hear me, then felt foolish for writing this, then stopped feeling sad cause I figured if nothing else this would at LEAST make you chuckle! 😜

Had to stop writing. Just had a major tornado warning. We had to take shelter!?! (we have survived a direct hit from a tornado years ago). Thanks. She looks like a green eyed, strawberry blonde haired, Irish/English babe, that can get a tan in the summer. Me like. I'm of Seminole and Creek Indian, Irish and German descent. Infact, I am a member of a Native Indian Clan system. I am of the Wind Clan. Really. .....yeah, I loved the original Highlander movie and series too.
