Hi,
So iv been doing research for a while, and id like to buy myself a nice sword. My price range would be $1000-$1500.
I want a real sword not just a wall hanger.
Now the reason I come here is because I want a certain blade and tip profile. To me it looks like an oakshott type Xa or XIII.
Here is an image of what im kind of looking for.i would also be interested in a custom.

Have you looked at Valiant? The Craftsman line swords are in your price range with scabbards. The Vision line are above that when scabbards are added.

for example - www.valiant-armoury.com/collections/the-craftsman-series/products/va-180-craftsman-series-the-norman-medieval-sword

Thanks for the reply. I got an email from valiant armory and they said they can custom make that sword. And hes gonna do a design outline tomorrow.
Do they make good swords?.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
