Title: MRL Deal of the Day: the new Coustille
Post by: Sir William on 2012-11-09, 19:35:56: For today only, this piece is going for $69- I picked one up some time ago and its a handy little sword, especially at this price point.

Post by: Sir Ulrich on 2012-11-12, 03:06:49: I picked one up. In all honesty I plan to modify it as i've seen it modified by some dude from the UK and it looked as good as an albion. Just need a little tutorial on how to do it.

Post by: Sir Ulrich on 2012-11-16, 03:24:17: Well it came today, my parents not so fond of me buying swords anymore, they seem to think I'll stab someone with it by accident when I am very careful with any objects that are sharp and pointy. Needless to say I really like it, the grip I cant stand though it's too slippery and the stitching hurts my hands, I do however plan to modify it and send it to crusader monk to get it regripped and get the scabbard attached to something. Overall I like it, it's nice just think the grip can be better.
