I have had my eye on a sword from them for several years now, and am finally ready to purchase. Does anyone have experience dealing with them? How do the blades hold up? I have handled almost all of the swords, but only at the Ren Faire. The balance and look are unbelievable, but how do they hold up?
I would like some feedback before spending $500 on a sword!
Thanks!

Forget Nutsore'd, but Sword Forum would be a good bet.
I've got several of Christopher Poore's weapons and they are awesome. I don't own any of his swords, but our Duc has the Black Prince and it is beautiful.

Something wrong with Netsword we should know about? [img]http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/confused.gif[/img]

And on Arms & Armour, I've heard nothing but good reviews, and on top of that, they were endorsed but Eward Oakshotte himself.

I'ce had no personal experiance with them but have heard very good reviews from a friend he still has to let me see it though...

Unless I am greatly mistaken Bob Charron has two (black princes?) that he uses for the Fiore demonstrations. Which is a resounding endorsement in my book.

I have received 2 swords from them, both came oiled and well packed and arrived in top condition, fast delivery too they sent them through a courier
