Having the grip wrapped in black/red cord also helps identify it as an Albion product. Keeping the cost down is always a good thing. ;) |
Thank you Stephen.
What you propose is good advice: it is noted for further development.
A possible transitional small sword would have a diamond sectioned blade of a length about 90 cm or slightly shorter. It would be striaghter in profile (more like a rapier blade), not having the strong flairing at the base as will the 18th C small sword. Having the grip made longer than the 18th C small sword might actually allow for using the same pommel for both swords. Time will tell.
Thanks.
