I too looked into this company any while they look nice, after Mr.Driggers pointed out some glaring flaws I thought to myself, if im going to spend like $1400 on something, mind as well save up another $1900 and get a product from someone I know I can trust that i know will be amazing as my center piece instead, I'm sure the sword you bought will be nice and they do have good customer service so good luck with your purchase. Thanks. I'll put up a review once I received it. If it turns out to be fine then we have another good vendor

update: I was told the weight will be between 2.6-3.3 lb for this two-handed sword, which I feel fine.

OK, I feel I'm obliged to defend them.
They actually made 3 guards and 4 pommel wax models for me to pick. Note that those are not CAD models but actual hand carved wax positives. I like to show the pic ,but maybe after getting the permission. I don't know many swordsmiths and how responsible a well-reputed swordsmith is, but what they did is very touching to me.
As for the blade, I'm sure there is a way to improve if it is about the thickness or geometry. maybe by further grinding it or making better taper? II'm just guessing but I will stay positive.

Oh, sorry, I thought it was you. Someone else said so.

The fuller is a dead give away, also you can tell by the fuller it is a very heavy thick blade. But you've ordered one so it doesn't matter. No, I believe the blade can be still changed. as you said , the Anduril blade looks OK so if necessary I will ask for that one

You aren't wrong but you should be against a badly milled one like this one is. So how do I know it is badly milled? Thanks!

Btw I m not against machine milled blade, I thought it is not much different than forged one, given both properly heat treated. Am I wrong? Should I be concerned about something? Thanks!

Hi, just to let u know, I ordered this sword already and am waiting for it now. I asked similar questions, the pommel is peened and covered with a layer of bronze to hide. The length of blade is around 35inchs and they can adjusted according to our request. I had same concern about he spiky pommel so they made new design of the pommel and guard for me. Forgot about the weight.
also i had very good experience talking to them. They are willing to take my designs and build the custom hiltings, also shorten the blade and make longer grip for me. Very friendly and nice, showed me photos of the progress. I haven't got the sword so I can't say for their works.
