Dane, Nathan said something about your sword? Where'd he do that, I don't see it anywhere.

He said it privately because God forbid he mention anything complimentary about 'Templars' in public being so 'Teutonic' as he is. :) ;) LOL
Sir Ulrich:
Congrats, I think DSA is a good way to go if you want the "full package". Prolly would of went with one if it werent for the Albion and custom colors I am getting with my package when it is finished. I did handle Nathan's one at DoK and it felt quite good in the hand, too bad I didnt come for any of the cutting sessions, prolly would of had a bunch of fun doing it.

It is rather heavy for its size. Feels like a Del Tin of similar size. Has a nice feel, good balance, and is certainly cheaper but I will be eventually getting an Albion. I like to try everything out.

I think you are attributing to him behavior that would be more in line with yourself. lol
I have had only one DSA (their first edition Ranger, at over 5lbs it was a heavy tank; it also had a number of issues that ultimately led me to sending it back and getting a full refund), and this was before they started modeling toward historical plausibility- but their blades, while more refined, are still pretty much the same. They make no use of distal taper at all, nor hollow grinding so the blades are a little heavier than you'd expect- they started building for the beater crowd and segued toward being more historically accurate to get into competition w/the other more established shops.
I think they are decent swords for the price...Sir Nathan's got the DSA Knight and it is a handy little sword, albeit a little on the heavy side at over 3lbs and only 35" in length. Still...it makes for a beastly cavalry sword.
Their longer swords, especially the ones like you have Dane, are a good deal better than their initial offerings- and was done in response to people who loved their offerings, but wanted more options.

Do tell!
Watter bottle?? This thing is going to go through a water jug typically used for ballistic firing drills/range shooting. ;D I get in trouble for the blood spilling at work especially if the source in question is some kind of 'cutlery'. ::)
