Albion Reeve

--- Quote from: Sir Ulrich on 2013-08-21, 00:33:15 ---I decided to pick it up he agreed to me paying a down payment then get the rest done when I can so I will be getting the Reeve to replace my Hanwei Tinker Norman. Should go good with my kit and not have the issue of the pommel digging into the wrist due to being shaped right.

Congrats! I'm glad he went for the down payment thing. I hope you get it in time for DoK, I'd love to see it in person!
Sir Nate:
Tis a fine blade worthy of any knight
Sir Brian:
Huzzah and congratulations Sir Ulrich! So methinks you’ll soon be in the market for a scabbard to house such a fine bit o’ steel! ;)
Sir Ulrich:
Yeah I think I am gonna need a scabbard for it, not sure who I am gonna get it done by. I want it to be accurate and fit the rest of my kit, considering the grip color is red I might have a red scabbard done with an integrated sword belt. I don't want to pay 800 bucks for it though, so maybe I will do it myself if I could find someone to carve and glue the wood part for me.
Sir Brian:
Making the wood core isn't that difficult or expensive. The blade geometry of the Reeve would not pose any difficulties at all. If you feel confident enough after making the core you could do the leather wrap and suspension or send it off to my friend here in Maryland for the leather work. He is very reasonable and an exceptional master craftsman. :)
