I always wanted a good Smallsword,doesn't have to be Colichemarde blade. My previous one was made by hanwei, very heavy,

[Aaron Hoard]

I'd like to get an A&A Viking Spear and maybe an Albion Reeve. If the right one was available, I'd grab a sword from Old Dominion Forge.

[Mark Moore]

Gotta git me some of a H/T Viking. Life's too short to not have a sword that can take me through an un-doored wall in my house. If the Viking is near as badass as the Norman, which I used to own(thanks, Ian H.), then it will be the last sword I need.(Yeah....As if.) ...........McM

[Sean Flynt]

It's great to see so many folks with custom projects in the works!

[David Lewis Smith]

I have a custom sword in the works but honestly part of my list is selling some of my swords.

I have some duplicates, and a few I no longer like.

[Greg E]

I would like to get an Albion Stamford, A&A Danish axe and A&A type L axe. I have been in contact with some smiths about commissioning some axes and spear heads.

[Greg Ballantyne]

In 2014...... I've been eyeing Lutel's Scramasax no. 11009 recently, and will likely order one early in 2014. After that I'll need to move into the "possible" territory. I sure wish I could seriously consider a custom project, but that's quite unlikely. More possible would be an Armor Class hand and a half Highland sword, if they would ever get off back order..... I'd quite possibly rather have an Albion Caithness instead anyway. Any further discussion moves into definite wish territory, and I could start dreaming of multiple Albion's, several A&A's, and custom projects. I'd truly love to own both the Jarl and the Chieftain, and the A&A Irish sword, but if I'm in wish land I'll go for a custom Viking sword project from one of about a half dozen makers I'd consider to produce either a migration or viking era pattern weld blade in full regalia furniture. One day, but not that likely in 2014......

[Daniel Wallace]

I was in the market for a two handed words with parrying lugs, have been for a long time - for what I want custom is probably the only way to go. BUT, opportunity presented itself in the closing months of summer of a blacksmithing school only miles from my home that I never knew about teaching everything from pattern welding - to the basics. if everything with my job holds out I will hope to attend at least 2 classes this summer.

as I hold off on a major new sword purchase, in my own little knife shop, I'm hoping to complete a hunting trouse set with a big bad beuernwehr, picker and by knife. I plan to start as soon as I get this other stuff off my work bench - maybe after Christmas.

[Michael B.]

I'm having a bastard sword finished, I have a couple other projects to wrap up as well, and I think I'm going to start a new soft kit. I also really really want a forge.

[Mark Moore]

I think I may also have to bite on a Cold Steel Viking axe....the big one. I plan on doing some custom touches to it. Carving, runes, leather wrapped haft.....It'll be sweet...... .........McM

[Jussi Ekholm]

Nice to read what are on fellow forumites wish lists & commission lists. As most members have European flavour on their lists, I'll bring in the oriental.

I have only 1 purchase I'm really planning to make in 2014. I'm after Nambokucho or Muromachi era blade that will fit to my liking. There are several antiques which I follow closely, and I'm hoping to be able to get one of them to my collection.

And if a cheap antique katar will pop up somewhere, and I like it, I might go for it.

I should be getting a custom order from Chinese forge I made earlier this year. I made an order of budget sword for which I tried to replicate Muromachi era katateuchi with the options offered by the forge. I'm kinda excited too see how it will be.

[William M]

Well to celebrate an important birthday of mine I plan on ordering my very first commissioned piece.
I am thinking of a pattern welded seax. There seems to be quite a few good makers out there but I think I have my eye on one who gets the curves just right as to me many repro seax miss out the graceful curves of the originals.

Any recommendations?

[Greg Marr]

I plan to forge myself a couple of glaives soon. One blunt for the field and one sharp for the sheer fun of it

[Bjorn Hagstrom]

[Mark Moore]

Greg...,.You be sure to give us some in-progress shots of your upcoming glaive project! That will be waaaay cool! ......McM

[Jason Elrod]

If I manage to pull enough money together, my 2014 purchase will be either an Albion Knecht or a Crossbow from Tod. That is a big if. Most likely 2014 will be a saving year.

[Mark Moore]

Second that on a crossbow. I've come to find I'm a decent shot, with little practice. Also have my sights set on a custom sharp claymore from BKS. Since my wife lost her job of $1000 a month, my collecting days may be on a brief pause. I'll get back in the ring to take another swing, though. .......McM

[Chad Arnow]

I wasn't planning on anything in 2014, but....

It looks like I'll buy a knife from Arma Bohemia, the funky one with the brass handle that looks like an arrow shaft with fletching. I also have two projects in the works with Josh Davis. The first is underway and looks great so far. The second will be a huge challenge for him (tons of detail) and is something the community probably hasn't seen before.

While I could let you guys in on what Josh is working on, I'll let them be surprises. The first piece should arrive in mid-August, the second later in the fall.

[Mark Moore]

I'm also looking at some plate armor for the ren-fests. My mom recently passed, and I inherited a butt-load of cash.......soooo........Let's see what happens. No sympathy messages, please. She was 84 years old, in very bad health, and ready to go. She's having a glass of mead with my dad right now in the Great Hall. .......McM
