You do know that RyanSword is committing IP theft (again), right? A maker can create an "inspired by" piece to keep or to sell as a one off, but cannot make several of the same based on someone else's designs, and then sell them. Similarly, a company (RS) cannot take someone else's ideas (The Kurgan Sword in this case) and then make a bunch and sell them without express consent from the creator/owner of the license. This is why several companies like United Cutlery only have license to make reproductions for only a year or so.

LG the same argument could be made against every company making a “fathers” sword. Some differ just enough to skirt by the copyright infringement laws. It’s hard to enforce. I’m not saying I don’t agree in principle but it’s really hard to enforce. Also the fact that there is no company currently not producing a Kurgan sword it’s not in direct competition to a licensed version. You do know that RyanSword is committing IP theft (again), right?

I guess you aren't aware of DSA's reputation concerning ethical business practices. Also, whataboutism is pathetic. |

I prefer to leave the Legal questions to the professionals i.e the lawyers and the courts and focus on enjoying cool swords and that looks like one cool sword.  |

FWIW, the Ryansword design is different enough from the movie design to be legally distinct, and judging by a cursory search their marketing doesn't seem to directly mention Highlander or the Kurgan anywhere, so I think in that regard they're actually in the clear.

I’m hoping it’s better balanced and lighter than the marto. I don’t know if there had been a true functional piece. Maybe the Hanwei version, im not sure about the UC.

Maybe the Hanwei version, im not sure about the UC. just received it and can’t say enough good things about it The handle is more flatter then I realized but it works. The guard is very streamlined and pointy The blade is folded and polished 1095 and has great activity Razor sharp The pommel from the top looks like a ball and has the ball Pommel feel without being one Very well balanced and light in the hand for a sword of its size Will post some pics |
