Nice great collection, rhe scabbard for the principe is really cool, is it lotr style? It's intended to be NieR (video game) themed. Includes both the likeness of Grimoire Weiss (without the face as I'm superstitious and think faces on swords curses them) and Lunar Tear flowers which have significance within the IP.   |

Much as I'd like to sell off a few, I either like the swords too much, or I find difficulty finding interested buyers. So, they'll continue sitting pretty! |

How do you like your Balaur Longsword? I saw they just restocked on KoA I’ve got a review in the works but it won’t be for at least another few weeks (pending test cutting), but overall it’s great for the price tag. I might purge off some of the more budget-range pieces from my collection in the near future, but that piece is one I intend to keep. |

Do you think the German is worth it? Looking at getting my first sword. *edited |

I don’t think they make the 13th/14th century longsword any more, though. I find the grip a bit too short for comfort on that one (and the wheel pommel is a bit too big to grip comfortably). |

UPDATE: Added the Brescia Spadona Mind writing a review or giving the short impressions here? It'll be two years before mine arrives- I'm trying to keep up the excitement so I don't spend more money on other swords |
