I was scrolling though Reddit this morning and this popped up on my feed. I thought "pretty cool" and then my brain went 'wait a moment, I know that sword' Even has the Balaur Arms mark on the blade. Anyway, nothing important, I just got a chuckle out of it and thought I'd share. Link to the original artist's page.

Was looking at their Viking type E sword until I saw this video. I noticed that KOA didn't show a picture looking down the blade at the guard but in the video you can see why. For almost $400 you would expect better especially when you can get the same sword in a Deepeeka for $150 less. Also the Deepeeka is peened on the guard between it and the pommel where it should be. The Balaur is peened at the end of the pommel. No wonder the Balaur is in stock when the Deepeeka is back ordered.

I looked at that one before as well. It really does look badass but when I saw that it nearly weighed 4 lbs I decided against it. I do love my first gen single edged sword however. Definitely doesn't have a gap like that though or nearly so much epoxy. I consider myself to be pretty lenient but jeez. I was going to order the new Alexandria sword they have but the pommel on that one just didn't really do anything for me.
