Hi, all. I'm looking for more knowledgeable opinions than my own regarding this company. I asked this in one of the other threads (New Acq. I think), but I wanted to formally ask here.
I ran across this company in a WETA thread, and have been reading all the reviews I can about their Anduril replica.

They also make one with Damascus steel, which looks quite nice, but is too varied from the film for my taste (and price).

They also have Strider's Ranger sword and their version of Sting, the former of which is also in the Damascus steel.
I guess they've gone through many upgrades since their initial runs, and most seem positive now. I think the sword is quite beautiful, and am drawn to it because of it being the only carbon steel version outside of WETA.
Granted, I really wish it had the engraving in the pommel, but otherwise I think it looks very well put together. More informed opinions than mine are plentiful, though, which is why I'm asking what you might have heard, and your opinions on this sword.
I've been in contact with them a few times, and they can do a $50 deposit to hold one and pay off in installments if necessary. They don't have any now, but said that the end of January would likely be the availability date.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Guy
