Aug 19, 2010, Quick Update

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know what's going on - it's been a pretty busy month and it's about to get even busier, so I'll try to keep this blog post to the point!

Firstly, as we prepare for the possibility of creating a fresh, brand-new SBG sword forum - I've been spending a lot of time backing up many of the cool posts and articles there, which made me feel a bit nostalgic - and led me to writing a brief overview of the massive changes that have occurred in the sword industry over the last five years - as well as my personal opinions about which direction the sword industry is headed..

Read about it here on our sister site, SMG

I welcome comments on this page, and other peoples opinions and observations too which will be incorporated into this piece to keep it is real and unbiased as possible.

Secondly, I've been spending a fair amount of time updating the sword descriptions and pictures over at the SBG sword store – something I've been meaning to do for a very long time, as is nothing more frustrating than getting a tiny description with the tiny picture and having to choose a sword based on that! It's a pretty big job, and so far only managed to update descriptions on only a handful of swords in the Darksword Armory range, over the next couple of months I really hope the descriptions will be a lot more detailed.

More updates coming soon (and quite a few more reviews too), as well as some very interesting things up my sleeve - so stay tuned!

Aug 10, 2010, Valiant Atrim vs Tinker Pearce Longsword Comparison

Which one is the better Longsword? The Atrim designed Long Sword by Valiant Armoury, or the Tinker Pearce designed Longsword by Hanwei? Both are arguably the best out of the box performing, economical choice for a good cutting Longsword. So which one to choose?
