Agreed, and looking back I think its better this way. Where the cheeper stuff was fun it never sits right with me and I always move on...
The pen is mightier than the sword, especially since it can get past security and be stabbed it into a jugular.
This site would be better if everytime I clicked submit... I got to hear a whip crack!

I had noticed that the price increased, but $230 is still well below Hanwei's list price.
True indeed. I've seen the Hanwei Ed III as high as $350 at some places. But like Russ (and a bunch of us for sure), I've handled both the Hanwei and the Arms&Armor versions. As expected, I was awe-struck by the latter even though I handled the Hanwei one first and still thought is was very nice. Since then, A&A's Edward III has been my #1 dream sword.  -Ted

John McGreevy of "Pieces of History" told me, that the Edward III. is to be discontinued at Hanwei, so you should really think about a purchase.
PoH (a former part Cas Iberia) is the new European distributor of Hanwei (Cas is doing all things in rest of the western world). They will got an own website later this year.
But there is an alternative: MRL is producing the Swords of the Ridley Sott movie "Kingdom of Heaven", and the "Sword of the King" is inspired by the Edward. With an lenght of 42 3/4 ", 33 7/8 " blade and 2 pounds 8 ounces it seems to be somewhat larger, but lighter than Hanwei's Edward III. Suggested retail is 225 $
