That’s great man. I’ve never gotten a custom before and may never but a couple of blades I received I was like a kid at Christmas. Could hardly wait for the shipping. Then restraining from tearing it open in the truck before I got home. Then of course opening, then pulling the blade out of the box ands handling it for the first time. Congrats and can’t wait for some pics of the blade itself. Enjoy

One point: turn the scabbard around and wear it inside the belt! That way the seam is facing your body and mostly hidden from view, the very nicely decorated scabbard slide is on display, the weight isn't pulling the slide away from the scabbard, and the sword flops around a whole lot less as well.

Really glad to see you finally have it, it's a great piece and I can't wait to see you go at a bottle with it!

Super happy for you dude. You got a killer set up that anyone would be happy to have. I don't have a single wool garment, but that isn't cause I don't want one. I definitely want a tunic at least

Thanks. Yeah, a guy on Facebook recommended that too. I’ll do that from now on.

Very nice! I am yet to own a viking sword, maybe your review will kick my ass in gear to get one!

So I did some photo editing today to make my kit look more “gloomy Hollywood”, and I actually really love the results. imgur.com/a/Ve4bYXx
