What's that about great minds? Razz

Overall some neat pics! Appreciate everyone's sharing! I'll have to try to dig up a couple...

Those are some nice pole-weapons you guys have there! Big Grin My fave is A&A's Knightly pole axe.

Russ;

Here is a link to the Albion page " in-house artisans " that shows the halberd in all it's glory.

Probably been a while since you checked that part of Albion's site.

http://www.albion-swords.com/inhouse/eric.htm

And I'm sure others might have neglected looking at what the guys at Albion do as their own projects, so I'm giving it a plug.

Here are some more custom pieces made by friends of mine - three seaxes. The top two were made by Jesse Frank and the bottom by Eric McHugh



I'd take a dozen more by either of these gentlemen... seriously doubt this is the end of my acquisitions from them.

I have no doubt that'll be the case, Russ. Actually, I know of a few pieces he has in the queue... and I'm sure we're all in for a good treat when the pics start showing up. I'm even happier in that a couple of them will pass through my hands on the way to their final destinations! If I can't keep 'em, at least I get to handle them!

Oh Man! This is unfair, you guys are giving me an incredible itch for polearms now! You guys trying to get me killed by my wife? I don't have any halberds or glaives, I do have an A&A 12th Century Saxon Spear and Danish War Axe though, but no glaives or halberds and I still got a few swords by Arms & Armor that I just gotta have!


Frustrated,

Bob

Bob;

You're exhausting me just reading about all the stuff you want AT THE SAME TIME. Eek! Cool Laughing Out Loud

But seriously, it's good to pace yourself just to be able to enjoy each purchase: It's like going to a banquet and eating all the courses mixed together on the same plate at the same time!

If I won Millions at a lottery and bought the entire A & A and Albion lines of sword the same day I think I would not be able to appreciate each on it's own merit. Anticipation is like foreplay, without it one misses the best part of the experience and somebody is not happy. Big Grin

All the above in a slightly teasing tone and with only the best of intentions and regard. Cool

You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Yeah, get too much too soon and it takes the fun out of it, not only that, I simply cannot afford buying at that pace either. Just a little coveting. LOL

Thanks, I did get a good chuckle.

Hey Russ, I've held the blade for one of your pieces by Jesse Frank, and I think you're right!

Simple shot of a Hanwei Naginata... the Yari pic ended up blury sorry.


The pen is mightier than the sword, especially since it can get past security and be stabbed it into a jugular.

Hey Alex, your Naginata is really cool, I really love what you did with your ceiling with the flags. I also have a question that being. At what quality range are the Hanwei Naginatas and Katanas?
I have my eye on the Paul Chen Hanwei Folded Steel Tiger Katana, for a maybe, someday, but not for a while hopeful. This link will take you directly to this particular Katana. http://kultofathena.com/product~item~PC1204.htm


Thanks again, loved the flags on the ceiling,

Bob

Yea, its a politically corect angle, but my buddies are big axis and allies fans, so we have the whole politically incorect lineup. Wink

Over all I am pleased. I say its well worth the cash. However, not everyone will agree for one reason or another. I've owned, sold, and delt with Hanwei stuff ever since its introduction into CASI's product line up. I personally helped with some of the selection line up, and have fondled most all that have been made at this point. I don't think they are 100% perfect in catchingthe reality of the design, but for your money its enough. I also have the Yari that came out reacenty, and after a little personalizing I'm pretty happy.

Eek! What?! How cool is that? Jesse's been sending me some sketches and stuff of his ideas of what to do with them... I think they are going to turn out pretty nicely. Glad you had the chance to see it and that it seemed to be going well.

I think I recognize quite a few of those, despite not owning any of them myself.

Windlass Halberd-Voulge, A&A Warhammer, A&A Horseman's Axe, CAS Iberia axe, A&A flanged mace, and...I can't figure out the rest.

Mind telling me if I'm right? Happy

The fires that light the coasts of Spain fling shadows on the Eastern strand.
