Nice one. But does it glow when Orcs are near...?

I am also planning on having them make me a version of this as well, with the blue leather to match, yours looks amazing as well. Did you deviate any from their normal 36" leaf blade?

36" blade, off the irish 2 hander. eric id msg zach or sonny asap! the blades or fittings sometime go out of stock
grip is long (2 hander) but it is so pleasant and lively.
i think the grip is longer than a principe or warwick
mayhaps it'll glow blue or white once i etch runes into the fuller

That's so cool! Really like everything about this design. I actually wasn't aware that they are open to this level of customization. That's great to know for a future commission.

Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. I have decent report with them and tried to get them to do a quite simple custom similar to one that did fairly recently and they said no. They said especially with the vision line, they are just too busy to do custom work. So, you gotta get them juuuust at the right time and mood, IF they take it on at all. |

Thanks for the tip. Maybe when their working que is a bit less intense they're more open to projects. Mentally bookmarked. |

I do recommend you message them, cant hurt to try and to do so again (use the valiant armoury site). They are very good with responding quickly. It seems the Atrim vision blades and fittings are off limits for requesting customization perhaps other than dye colors.
I have owned numerous swords from VA, but I do not think they keep a record of such (but mayhaps?) Eric just placed an order so now might be good timing.
hedemark, 2x warders, two bristols, one monarch/bristol hybrid, crusader, templar, malastesta, zombie slayer, austrian greatsword, Kreigschwert, ansbach and of course now this. Either my 13th or 14th sword from them
I am very fond of Valiant Armoury and I'll be a lifelong customer...this certainly wont be my last one
They have added customized models to the list such as the monarch before
Eric you should let me "borrow" that Strasbourg lol

I ended up having to cancel the custom order as my car needs repairs so that has to come first, but there is a two handed leaf blade forged and ready to go, wait time is around 3-6 months on that you should definitely call or message if it is something you want made, now is the time to get in there.
