Anyone else receive their sword yet? I thought we were meant to see some scabbard pics by now.

I’ve not heard anything on mine but I had asked it to be made as one of the last so it won’t be done til the summer.

I received mine last week. Mirror polish, sharpened. Quite gorgeous.

Haha, what he said.

I am supposed to have my sword and scabbard in January. I am desperate to see a scabbard but alas committed to buying it after my doubt.

[wargrider]

Mine is almost finished, hopefully I will have it in december!

With scabbard?
Also what finish did you select?
thanks

Without scabbard, and I choose standrad finish like the original sword from the movie, I'm not fan of ultra smooth finish, which is not realistic for battle swords

[ghettodactyl]

I assume at least one of the scabbard swords is probably finished by now. I know there were 6 forum members that were ordering it which included myself based on the poll I made awhile back. Most were going the standard satin with only me and one other planning on going for aged.

My order is ready now, wont ship until Jan 5th due to "airline congestion" 1300 US shipping (gag!).

[wargrider]

Mine is also ready, should receive it on the 24th

$1300 usd for shipping? OUCH.

My shipping to Norway was 890usd for just the sword this summer. Probably the scabbard that increases the cost a few hundered dollars more.

$1300 usd for shipping? OUCH.

Yeah its ridiculous and a trend I have seen more and more now. They already have 10k of mine so what am I going to do? Same thing happened with the Uman Witchking statue. Preordered and then months later the 900 dollar shipping bill comes. I should have walked away from that PO.

Beautiful! You must be so excited to finally have it home and in your collection!

[ghettodactyl]

The piece looks gorgeous. Is that the satin finish on it?
