I've always admired the technical aspects of Gus' work but the lack of aesthetics always left me cold. This collaboration between Gus and Christian is now turning the line into comething that's interesting for me.

This may sound strange coming from me, but the last thing I'd like to see are more medieval sword styles introduced to the market. I think we're getting saturated with the medieval stuff. I'd much rather see migration designs, or even something inspired by ancient patterns like the kopis/falcata, celtic iron age designs, etc. I know business decisions have to be made based on what will sell, but these things would pique my interest to a far greater degree than another medieval sword.

I am in agreement with Mr. Kelly. In addition, we can take what we know and use it to manufacture unique but plausible designs as well. Those "tactical" swords were always amusing.

If you want something appealing that no one else has made, try this --

I saw this sword at Hermann Historica, a hand and a half from South Germany, dated around 1515, 43.3" overall length. The blade is very slender, one might almost call it an estoc, but it is double edged. If ATrim and CF made this sword, I would be very tempted to buy it.
