Das Bill:
I have always wanted one of these very badly:



My only issue was that, being a rather tall guy, the standard model is a little short for me. Due to the current A&A sale, though, I called Craig up and talked with him about some customizations, and have decided to purchase one. Basically, I'm buying one with a nail head blade for rapier fencing, but with the blade adjusted for my height. They'll have to make it have a lot of taper in order to compensate for the balance, but this is actually a good thing for a fencing blade, so that it will be nice and flexible.

I don't think I'm going to get the matching dagger, but I haven't totally ruled it out. :)

Sir Brian:
WOW!  :o

That is a very sexy blade!

Is my envy showing? ;)

Sir Edward:

Gorgeous! I'm envious. If something like that fell in my lap, I'd be very tempted to take up rapier as well. (not that I'm not tempted to do so eventually anyway).

So far my "rapier" experience is just some semi-SCA-style pseudo-sport-fencing stuff with some slices and cuts thrown in.

Sword Chick:
Hey, Ed, we need you in rapier!  The advanced class is mostly women.  I think you should come out and play with us.  ;)
