Review of prototype
I had an opportunity to handle Tinker's prototype for this sword when he brought it to an ARMA practice session. I -have not- handled the production model, just to be clear. As I recall it was well balanced. Weight was right. Overall I was positively impressed. The prototype needed some easing of its overly sharp and harsh corners on the pommel and cross. I would personally prefer a different pommel... Either a stopper-type or something that isn't just a simple disc (like say the Albion Baron). But this should be a decent sword for the money.
