I think SaberSmith should be added to the links page.  :)

They've been at GARF for a couple of years now. I have always been impressed with
their work and the balance of their blades...so much so I broke down and bought one
this past weekend. Mine has a different wrapping and pommel from the one in this link.  ;)

I'm actually surprised that Sir Edward doesn't have them listed there already.
And that is truly a nice blade you've picked up, Sir Brian. If only the grip were
a little beefier....still have a nice heft and feel to it though! :)

Excellent, I've added it to the list. I've never handled any of their work, so I'd be curious to see the overall "look and feel".

I'll bring it to VARF on either the weekend of the 23rd or the 30th...I can't go to VARF next weekend
because of the Maryland fairy festival... ???

Not a word my friends! Not a single word!  :-X

Well, since she wears the fairy stuff to faire, I think it's only fair to wear the armor to the fairy festival!!

I've looked into the feasibility of going as an armored fairy but it just doesn't work. The size of the
wings I'd have to wear to compensate for the weight to lift ratio would make me look like a B-2
bomber!  :D

Besides they don't allow weapons of any kind, not even my maryland "special".  :(

Guess I'm stuck with ye ole kilt.

Never! It is me second favorite garb after armor of course!  ;)

But my kilt is old since it is my first one I ever owned and I haven't picked up my
new leather one yet which I will hopefully get next Sunday at VARF if it is ready! ;D

At Sir Wolf:
Lol...You have entirely too much time on your hands! ;)
