Because swords are made by hand, it is more cost effective at the factory (located about 25 miles outside of London) to make the swords in batches rather then in single orders.
Hands up, those of you with deep pockets and the desire to own simply the best broadsword made in the UK.
You can probably count me in, if you get the five; but, despite the makers' reputations, I'd like to see an example of what it is I'm buying first. As you know, the baskets have different designs to them; so, I want to know what it looks like or whether I have a design choice. Did they send you a pic?
