Combat Con is coming up in a couple weeks, and I could certainly use an infusion in cash, so I'm making this sword available. This is one of the first gen of the Balaur Arms/LK Chen collaboration type XVIIIc Alexandria swords.
Important things to note about this sword: - There is some very slight cosmetic damage to one quillon and the peen block. I believe this occurred during shipping from China to Kult of Athena. KoA refunded me $35 for this defect.
- The sharpness is very inconsistent. Parts are very, very sharp, others not so much. With the excellent edge geometry, it would take very little effort to make it a keen, even edge.
- The scabbard has the metal collar/locket at the throat which can dull the blade if you're not careful when drawing/sheathing the sword. On the later versions of this sword, KoA has replaced the locket with rain flaps to ameliorate this problem.
My review is pretty long, but if you're interested in purchasing this sword, I highly recommend watching it to get a lot of detailed information and closeups. I have an unfiltered (meaning there's probably some bad, out-of-focus pictures) photo gallery here (Amazon Photos link).
This sword sells new for $488. Accounting for the refund for the shipping damage, I paid $453 + tax/shipping. I am asking for $425 + shipping SOLD, paid via either Zelle or Paypal friends & family.

I just watched this review video the other day... they should have refunded you more than that for those defects.
