Those look so good! Did he do the Draco Rex scabbard as well? It, looks incredible. Agree with you, can't praise Jimbo enough. A really nice guy to work with and very reasonable. Have an Albion bare blade commission with him at the moment, not long till it's finished. It's the waiting that's the worst.

Thanks! He did indeed do the scabbard too, his work is great and the price is fair

The Draco still reminds me of Frostmourne.

a functional version of frostmourne...oh yes
finally i could deal chaos damage, bonus damage against good-aligned beings, bonus damage against living beings, and a life-draining effect that heals its wielder when he deals damage

People change. Their circumstances change. He did some beautiful work for you BUT being a great craftsman /artesian doesn't always equate to good business practices or honesty. He may be a thief, however, I "eventually" got the sword I bought from him. That said, he certainly isn't the most honest or up front guy to deal with. Lots of missed deadlines, broken promises ignored phone messages and texts and the usual "my dog ate my homework excuses". Hardly the behavior of a professional. I eventually got my sword from him but I needed to tangibly threaten him with legal action. THAT is not a way to do business. Disclaimer: the only custom swords I have commissioned have been with Angus Trim, Howard Clark and Maciej Kopciuch with scabbard work from Eric McHugh (via Albion) and Christian Fletcher.

I saw that but when someone like Christian Short actually announces publicly here that he has been a victim of theft...time to make any references to the guy as a vendor disappear.

I have no doubt in my mind that if I hadn't nagged and questioned Jimbo regularly (since December 3rd now...) he would have completely abandoned the job I paid him for over a month ago. That being said, it's been over 16 weeks since I paid him, and he keeps saying "two MoRe WeEkS" IF anyone has his address, it'd be great to know so I can take legal action Asap.
