I Don’t see why not
I would reach out to them and see if you can get an upgrade for your sword you might have to modify the tang a little nothing a drill press can’t fix

Hi Joey, I would like to see more euro type swords by them possibly with a little more attention paid to the handle contour and weight/balance.

I am definitely interested to see how yours turns out.

just received it and it’s amazing way better quality and attention to detail and much lighter then I expected

I love mine and i had the windless version of both swords and sent them back after taking them apart and seeing the lack of quality and poor construction not to mention the poor balance.
For the price these are the best on the market besides Albion but that’s in a class of its own.
For the mid level collector who wants to maybe cut with these you can’t beat them.
It was a labor of love when I reached out to ryanswords and took a chance ignoring the negative reviews they had as every forge has its bad reviews from time to time.
They worked with me and we went over the designs and the idea of solid brass fittings.
They took a big chance and I’m happy it paid off for them.
I’m a very satisfied customer and will be doing more projects with them in the future.
Maybe other forges should take note of this and listen to people more not just crank out mediocre products that are cheaply made or overly built making them too heavy to be used properly.
Also the thundercats sword is the only fully functional replica on the market.
Hope to have them make me a fully functional kurgan sword in the future.
I know about the whole licensing issue and totally understand the argument but if you want to point fingers a lot of forges ignore them and create functional replicas to fill a void.

At 2kg it’s ridiculously lively and balanced in the hand
I strongly recommend that anyone looking for a fully functional barbarian fathers sword give them a try.
You won’t be disappointed from the folded blade that’s runes are deeply etched to the solid brass fittings you can’t go wrong.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
