Purchased from Reliks.com in Canada a Cas Hanwei Banshee sword. This isn't a new sword to most people here and I must have been wanting one for 10 years now, probably longer. On arrival I was very pleased with the sword overall and it came with Reliks Sharpening Service which (for the cost) I felt was adequately done. Someone proficient in hand sharpening may not be as impressed by the results. I had a diamond steel file I ran over the edge to remove a small burr and it feels extremely sharp overall now. One issue I did unfortunately have was with the scabbard. There was a roughly 9" crack in the bottom of the wood that I wasn't too happy with. I emailed Reliks right away with a photo and a request to possibly replace the scabbard. Within 24 hours I had a reply letting me know they would be in touch with the manufacturer in China about the possibility of a replacement. They asked me for 1 week to resolve the issue which I felt was reasonable. A week later I heard back from Reliks that the replacement scabbard was on the way. They included tracking information. All correspondence from Reliks was timely and professional, in my opinion. The replacement arrived within 3-4 days from Canada and it's in perfect condition with no damage or cracks. Overall I'm really happy with the experience and the scabbard issue I believe was resolved quickly and professionally. The sword itself is well made, straight, and every bit as cool as I anticipated it being. It's ready for some brush clearing, hiking, and potential zombie slaying.  Love the banshee. |

Is that grip really that off center of the blade or is that just an illusion? No, it is. Stormmaster's right about it being intentional. Since the arming sword is single edged the grip is more in-line with the spine of the sword. Matt Easton has a video of it here. Also stunning axe! |

With it being intentional, at least it doesn't speak poorly to the quality in any way. Really weird sword, but significantly cooler when everything is deliberate. |

Andi proudly presents: Albion Munich Gothic with DBK scabbard. Wonderful sword and overall package, got it from forum member zwerchhau.  And here's me making a picture of the original Munich.  The sword with the crystal pommel has a grip that looks like a pattern for the Albion Gothic grip. |
