 |
|
Just a quick random question: Does anyone have any personal experience with or informaiton on the MRL High Renaissance Sword, or Phoenix Metal Creation's Riding Sword? I've checked the official sites, but the pickings are slim. I'll be looking elsewhere, but in the meantime . . .
Thanks!

Not that I have experience with the particular swords in question, but Erik Stevenson (Phoenix Metal Creations) is no longer in the sword business. Which is an incredible loss; Erik was a master of the sword-fitting craft. It would have been easy to say "go for the Phoenix; you can't go wrong!" But that is no longer an option.

From the Phoenix Metal Creations website:

I will most likely be making pieces and marketing them post production once I reach the end of my current backlog rather than taking custom orders. I intend to fill the orders in my current back log although my delivery timeline will need to be adjusted to accommodate my going back to school. |

Has MRL upped their quality control? I had heard some bad things about them since they quit using Del Tin blades years ago. Did they finally get their act together?

Brian,
We have a number of reviews of MRL products on our reviews page (almost 20), including several fairly recent models. MRL products have also been discussed at great lengths on the forums. The forum Search button above should help you out.
My own experience is that they have improved. They're not as good as more expensive swords, but they are often a good buy for the money.
