Last time I talked to the guy he said he'd give me pics of what he's done so far in 4 days. It's been 4 months. Feeling like I threw $575 down the drain, plus 2 years of waiting for nothing. Don't think I'll ever commission a sword again. Both experiences I've had have been terrible. Don't count yourself out of getting a custom sword, you should look into Purna of GGK if you want to make sure you get a sword completed and into your hands and he always shows pictures of the update progress each morning. Oh yeah I know Purna is super reliable and delivers consistently. I probably should had went that route, but at this point I'm burnt out and would rather put my money into other things outside of swords. I'm pretty soured on the hobby to be honest.
For In'Carius there really isn't much I can do to try and get my money back. I think this guy almost intentionally bleeds people out by taking forever, and then they eventually cancel and that's why he sells nearly finished swords frequently. I even gave him the option to let me buy one of those swords instead of this custom one but he insists he started the project, yet I have been presented no evidence to show for it.

I can't speak experience to commissions with Rafal of In'Carius (and probably never will).
My custom sword from Damian Sulowski was the exact opposite experience. Estimated about a year, took about a year (went slightly long because I wanted green leather and he needed to get the dye). Sent in progress pictures to make sure there were no unexpected surprises. I highly recommend Damian.

snubnoze I get it, I took a couple months off collecting swords because of your exact thing, made couple purchases of custom stuff never received it, some I got my money back others never did. Hopefully you can get something from him, how did you pay? Maybe you can file a claim? My only experience with In'Carius craft was I purchased a sword was completed and shipped to me only to be "stolen" en route, luckily for this instance with him I got my money back from it, maybe I was lucky. I myself do not purchase custom at least outside of USA, unless it's Purna.

I had purchased a pre-made from him prior to that, and there were no issues and I really like the sword which is why I went with him to recreate a specific Kreigsmesser from Austria because I think he can really pull it off. At this point I can just wait and hope for the best. I know his work is good but damn I didn't think the communication and wait time would be THIS bad.

“Kreigsmesser from Austria”
Sounds pretty awesome
