Oh, I -really- have wanted the XVIa from Lockwood. How does it handle?
On a side note, his fullers are looking MUCH Better than they did in the early days!! He should update his site pictures again.

Just small question/nitpick, but how's the gap in the crossguard/hilt? (if any)
Other than the sword looks beautiful, Kudos :3

(if any) Other than the sword looks beautiful, Kudos :3 Yes, I'd like to see a picture looking down the blade towards the hilt as well. I know that was also previously a nitpick with Lockwood swords - this one looks pretty amazing though. Another question about it - how does that grip shape feel? I'm not sure I've ever handled a longsword with a concave grip like that (on the portion closest to the guard at least).

Hard to tell with the focus on those pictures - but it doesn't look like it has a bad gap at all. Overall, this is a lot better quality blade than I saw from some of his earlier offerings. Thanks for sharing!

Reviving the thread to see what you think of it a month on. How does it handle? Have you tried cutting with it?
I am considering putting in an order for the same model (minus the full black finish) and was hoping for a bit more of your feedback on it!

Good sir I am more happy with it than ever haven't did any cutting with it but knowing the weight and balance it should be very scary cutter . lets put this intoBetter words. I would be perfectly fine useing this to protect my family against another skilled swords man .Good luck. I highly recommend Stephan Lockwood as a sword Smith!!!! CheersTim seaton
