As I'm sure I've mentioned before, these have never been my favourite type of swords. That said, this is a very nice design non the less and as always, I appriciate anything that looks different or unusual.
(Now make the Markgraf, dammit!)
The sword is an ode to the strife of mankind.

Hey Chad, thanks for those great brass relief shots! It's great to see different examples all in one place.
On a side note I absolutely LOVE the sword of St. Casilda! That is a beautifully proportioned sword!

It seems that some less expensive offerings have featured such a grip decoration style. Take, for example, the CASI Lowlander Sword. |
True enough. The Hanwei Gottfried's braided leather could be considered similar, too.

I definitely agree with Nathan about the guard being my favorite part. It always amazes me how the subtle shaping influences a sword's aesthetic appeal; it's really what separates the Albions like the Chevalier, Templar, and Knight from their competitors.
I do wonder, as they did when the half wire grip was introduced, plan to offer this grip on some of the other swords.
