I’ve just finished a Pinuti for another Toronto client. Custom work is never a problem, so by all means get in touch with me via email if interested.

Best,

Charles.

Having dug through my records; the overall length was about 56 inches and the weight near 4.5 lbs. Suffice to say, within certain limitations, swords can be made to order. This order was custom and was a steal at about $400 – more work than I’d expected!)

Best,

Charles.

You’ll find the sword specs in the PDF on the main page. The Lengths are variable, and custom lengths aren’t a problem. The blades are aircraft aluminium and the cost varies dependent upon basic sword style and your choice of fittings and finish.

Cheers,

Charles.

Here are a few pictures for your reference:

It’s really just a sidearm sword/jungle bolo.

I’m part of a small but growing club that’s really passionate about our art. I’m sure we could give you a lot of business over time.

Sincerely,

Love ur weapons was wondering about ur long sword,montane(hope I spelled that correctly) specs. As well as ur messer prototype. they look quite awesome an I will be proud to sport them in weapons practice. Also have u ever thought of making a polish or Hungarian thumb ringed type of practice saber? Karabella I think they’re called. Just food for thought… Thank you for your time

The swords arrived yesterday just in time for my Wednesday evening training session at MASHS (http://www.mashs.org).

The Spadona is fantastic! When I have a chance I’ll send you a picture of your work next to my original sharp steel next to each other for comparison.

Its incredible how close you got it not only in terms of dimensions but also the “effortless”-ness in handling. Everyone seeing it (including myself) also cannot help but comment about the exquisite work done on the pommel.

As the adage goes “you will fight the way you train, so you must train the way you want to fight. And the best way to fight well is with functional, conditioned reflexes.”

I feel confident that the skill I gain training and bouting regularly with your aluminum Spadona will carry over very well when I am using my sharp steel with test cut drills on pells and tatami mats.

Thank you again for all your work making this invaluable training tool for me!

Sincerely,

Josef L. Yeager (Josh)

Thanks for the kind words. I loaded this one with bells and whistles, but it provided me the info necessary to make a production model – hopefully in the $150 range. I’m going to make a simpler one over Christmas and will post it for your consideration:)
