I just got my baskethilt and shield basket from Otto today and I am very pleased. This was in a trade for a stainless steel aventail I made a short time ago and had just laying around. We began correspondence about this trade on 2/26 and talked back and forth for a couple days. He said the baskets would be ready by Saturday and shipped out then.
The welds are good and the curvature in the bars is smooth and clean. Both items fit my hand well with enough room to add finger gauntlets and/or gloves.
Otto was a pleasure to do business with and I recommend everyone fill up his backlog
