nice pieces everyone, greg love the albion vikings they are all sweet, the thegn is my personal favorite i think its so nimble, great pick up verity i think i started that commission and then it evolved when i traded it lol, really cool how it ended up, and the velvet really is a nice touch nathaniel i gotta get something like that formyself so its not just bare table lol Moving the Thegn around is like whipping around a twig. Very light and easy to put the cut where you want it quickly for sure. The Stamford has more presence to it, but nimble enough (not Thegn nimble). |

picked up James Elmslie's Kirpichnikov type IV white bronze mace today, still deciding do i want a clean crisp geometric cast or more rugged textured cast for the mace head, will decide once they are cast in 2 weeks, one would be more pleasing to the modern eye and one more historically accurate mace in picture is the shaft with the master mold  |

I was sorely tempted to buy that when he posted it on Facebook. Congrats stormmaster, it's a beautiful mace!

I'm not a big fan of pattern welding, but holy crap, the level of skill and artistry there is incredible.

The katana looks beautiful Brother Nathaniel. I especially like the saya.

Brother: That's a Nice Barbute! including the coif( or aventail?) I Cant tell from this angle. the Additional Protective bars seem protective and rather attractive being strategically placed it would seem( though somewhat A-historical I believe)- nothing wrong with that though:) a cool piece

I got JKOO'd. This is probably the worst katana I've bought. Bent tip, gap between the mune-machi and habaki, crazy rattle in the saya. Will be interesting to see what JKOO's customer service has to say to my complaint.
Edit: JKOO paid to have me ship it back to them so they could replace it. I got them to confirm that if Chinese Customs confiscates it, they'll bear the loss.

Bent tip seems to be a common recurrence with JKOO (also happened to me), dunno what is happening there, probably a worker further along the line with a bad work habit/method.

Absolutely love my Balaur 15th C. Arming Sword. It's probably my favorite sword out of all I own.
