Hands down, the Lady Carmen, followed by a triple filled arming sword he only made two of. I several of his swords, and I would agree they are made to work, not just look pretty. :) i don't think I've seen the Lady Carmen. The triple Fuller I love but HATE the tip profile

The Lady Carmen is a Type XIIa, but a bit slimmer. Its 1.75" at the cross and tapers to 1"before it narrows to the point. It's just a bit over 2.5 pounds, and comes with a scent stopper pommel on a 8" hilt. With the scent stopper you pick up a bit more grip leverage. 37 inch blade, and 48 inches overall.
Its FAST. Feels great in one hand, but put it in a two handed grip and it feels like a lightsaber. Very quick, feels light, but hits with authority. I have a later one, and the point is well defined and tracks well. I love the grip, very tight and feels good in the hand. Hands down, my favorite Atrim, and one of my top 3 longswords.

That sounds similar to an XIIa.2... is it similar to this (for the blade anyway)?:

ah ok. Dimensions are similar to the XIIa.2 (Maker's Mark XIIa), but not quite. Tip profile being the most significant difference from appearance
