First I've heard of them. Looks pretty legit. They at least describe materials and tempering. There's a video there where they cut up a pig and drive a car over a sword.
The interesting part is that they apparently use 4034 stainless for the swords but they are functional according to the demo video. They would probably have edge retention around what you'd see in 1045 or 1050 carbon.

Thanks. I was wondering why they are using SS instead of high carbon. Their facility is literally in the same town where the Turkish kilij was being forged 700 years ago.

If those swords are stainless steel then the videos of them flexing the swords are impressive.

I'd bet they are really 4034 and can really flex, but I'd be really surprised if they are actually 52-56 HRC.

I just had a look at their website. I LOVE the idea of having a wall painting to go along with my sword purchase. Why doesn't everyone do that?

I can't tell if those are literally paintings of the sword or a mistranslation for a three dimensional frame/plaque for displaying it. Probably the latter. The fullered wolf head Turkish sword looks the coolest to me, that's what I'd buy. The sub-200 ones look very simple, flat bars with short bevels. And naturally there's a lot of Zulfiqars.

I assumed they weren't actually painting, but I like the idea nonetheless.
