Albion Barron sword
Over the years I've handled lots of swords and I still have a lot to learn but this thing has truly impressed me. It's light, very sharp, handles and cuts very fluidly. It does have a cross on the pommel, so not exactly middle earth, (even though the Professor was Catholic: another thread somewhere?) but this thing does everything very well. Expensive: yes but I'm pleased. I would recommend this thing to anyone looking for a larger blade. Cheers!

Re: Albion Barron sword
Glad you like it if the cross causes a problem with how well it fits into middle earth then it shouldn't be to hard to find a smith who would ether file and polish it off or replace the pommel, you could even have the design changed for something from middle earth?

Re: Albion Barron sword
That's true. I've considered changing it many times but I've kept it because it's a link back to my faith. Just looks like I'll have to get that Duke sword...Ah shucks...

Re: Albion Barron sword
Congratulations Taylor. I have owned two Albions in the past and they are fantastic swords. With the price of the Baron I am not sure how much I would do to it, though I do know someone that ended up having a custom blade mad for the guard and pommel of an Albion sword and sold the bare blade.
If you are looking at an Albion Duke next I would also suggest keeping your eyes out for a sword from Angus Trim. It is not as pretty as an Albion but from a performance stance they are superb. I still own my Angus Trim sword, which is a XIIIa like the Duke that you are looking at.
