Yep, about a decade ago.

EDIT: corrected

--- Quote from: Sir William on 2015-10-07, 14:33:16 ---BKS doesn't do wood grips so far as I can recall, its always been leather wrap over steel tang for all of their models. Not sure why, that's just how they do it. A shame something that expensive failed from the start- but a lifetime warranty's a good thing to have.

I have one of their (few?) wood grip swords. It is a heat-treated bare blade (the type XVIII single hand sword blade) I had bought from Albion that BKS polished up for me and built a hilt. I had to push them way past their comfort zone to make a wooden grip, and they still wouldn't wrap it, but they did do it.
Sir James A:
Since this post got bumped... almost 6 months later, I still have no sword. No response to emails. Voice mail box is full. No idea if I'll ever get the sword back, or fixed, and I was brave enough to try one of their prototype feders since they were a vendor at a tournament last year. I've not had the sword almost as long as I had it, assuming I ever see it again.
Stay away from BKS. Not recommended at all.
