I wanted to share this site with everyone, he is a custom sword smith who specializes in Cutlasses, Hangers, Small Swords, and Sabers, swords that a lot of other makers and manufactures ignore and are under appreciated. I believe this smith has also produced some swords, and axes, for the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. From what I hear, he is also very reasonable, with most sword under $500.

This is my favorite of his. Would definitely consider getting one made in the future.
Anyways, thought I would share. Hope you enjoy, and please share any comments you may have, or any links of other smiths who specialize in these types of weapons.
