NAMASTE! I couldn’t resist my curiosity, and placed an order with them - for a “Baselard Short Sword”, and a “Combat Gladius”. Their distributor is in London, England - shipping was $40 via DHL - and they paid the $20.73 DUTY fee. which I promptly reimbursed - the “bomb-proof” package arrived a day earlier than scheduled. I’m highly pleased with them - either they have a surprising WEIGHT, or I’ve lost considerable arm-strength over 76 years - they also have surprisingly LONG grips. The sheaths are HARD-finished leather. While waiting for them, I e-mailed the owner to offer him proposals for my two FIGHTING designs, and a revived version of Barry Wood’s “swing-lock” folder - after he expressed an interest in them, I really unloaded the particulars in a series of e-mails, beginning with just the SHEATHS for them! If you place an order, PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION to the many options they offer - some models include a ROSEWOOD sheath/scabbard. They also accept custom designs. And all this from Kathmandu, NEPAL!

I ship things all the time to my friends in Germany and Belgium. Damn, the shipping cost can be as much as what I am sending them. At least it feels that way.
