My loss is your gain.
From time to time I purchase inventory from new suppliers to check out the quality of their offerings. This time I ordered more than a few pieces, based on photographs provided by the vendor.
As it turns out, the items don't match their photos, and I am not impressed enough with the quality of these pieces to carry them as regular items.
I therefore selling them at my cost.
To purchase these items, and to view pictures, please visit our web site close-out page here:

These look perfect for that guy who wants some swords laying around for experiments and full-contact fighting. At these prices you won't feel bad about trashing them.

DOH!
I just spent my last $60 on a new longbow!
Any chance you'd talk barter for one of the Vikes swords?

Wow, what a selection... scary.
The two "small axes," though, are close enough to something I' use that I'd consider getting them... but I can't figure out why on earth I'd have to pay 22.75 for shipping, according to your site's engine... knock those shite little handles off two of them and make me a reasonable shipping offer, and "sold."

--Agreed!
I was taking out the credit card (the wife rarely notices purchases on it under $20;) and in the middle of ordering one with the intention of blunting it, retempering it and use it for rebated steel combat
Then the shipping rate of $14 hit me and I decided against it

Just thought of this....
If your gonna be at Thorngill's practice Sunday i could just come down there and save on shipping. If ya bring a couple of the other Eric and i might just pick up several from ya .
You like cash right?

Yeh Steve,we're about 45 minutes away.I'll send you a PM about it.

That's exactly what I thought. The pictures the vendor provided are, in fact, the pictures of Windlass' stuff. I assumed the guy must be a sub-contractor for Windlass. In fact, they are just knock-offs. The quality is not as good as Windlass', and while some of the copies are decent, most are not that faithful.
Murdock: I wasn't planning on being at fighter practice - I don't even know where Thorngill has fighter practice - where is it?
The overall length of the hand-and-a-half sword is 44 3/4". It is the longest sword of the bunch.

Another thing - I've had 6 orders this morning so things are moving off the site fast. I'm not re-ordering these items so if you want to grab something at these low prices you'd better move fast.

Murdock:
from above:
The overall length of the hand-and-a-half sword is 44 3/4". It is the longest sword of the bunch.
All other swords are shorter than the hand-and-a-half.
I'll have to measure the rest later.

No, haven't even checked.
If you guys are going to be in town, you could just swing by here - that way I don't have to load up a 20 or so weapons in the car.

Went and saw Steve today (apparently Thorngill has no Fighter Practice
)
After we finally got there we got to see the shop and all Steve's goodies. Espically considering the cost the swords are nice.
The hand a nd a half is sweeeeeettttt espically for the $$$
The Archers swords feel really lively in the hand, and i got the French sword too.
We'll see how long they last.
Wish we had'nt had to run off so quick but i had to get to work to sit here on the desk and type.
