Albion Berserkr and an Albion Squire Line Viking. Was really surprised how big the Squire Line Sword marking is now compared to the 3 other Squire Line models I have.

Such a beefy spine on it makes one see it could hack with impunity. Makes my Balaur Arms single edge Viking seem delicate in comparison though with Albion weight distribution it feels just as agile.

I also had this knife to show off. This is a custom, personalized Loveless style Sub-hilt I had made by Gulzar for me. He made two of them for me, but this one is my favorite because it has blackened fittings. I will try to make a thread soon with all of my sub-hilts for comparison.

It has a 9-inch blade, a quarter-inch thick.

Didn't even see this. Nice knife dude. Surprised you didn't post in the knife threads

Forja Fontenla multibar viking sword, called Odin's Mask, The blade of this sword was forged with a core of wrought iron inserted between two bars twisted in opposite directions and the edges: two bars of linear laminate of 1095 and 15n20 steel.

The S-type pommel has Odin's mask chiseled with silver inlay inspired by the Sjellebro stone. The ornamentation of the upper guard and the crossguard is completed by silver inlays motifs typical of the Ringerike and Mammen styles. S type swords are the most prominent group that applies wire wrapping.silver wrapped grip.

The scabbard is made of wood lined in leather with a felt interior. The leather is worked with dragons in the Mammen style with a chiseled bronze chape.

I got my custom-painted heater shield from Medieval Extreme some days back. As beautiful as expected, of course.

That's wicked dude, I live the shields edge wrapping. The paint job is killer too 😎👍

My commission with Maciej Kopciuch is now complete...I really like the ability to get a high quality scabbard with a high quality sword. Buying them separately is a long drawn out process and I don't feel a sword is complete without a scabbard.

As much as I love Albion swords, I am going to shift my collecting emphasis to custom blades that come with high quality scabbards.

I'm always impressed with his work, and I feel the same way as you when it comes to scabbards. I don't want to buy them separately.
