Thanks for your email and interest. I don't seem to be able to get my email through, though. Do you have another email account that I can send the price quote to?


We have accepted Euro before but the floating conversion rate had made us suffered a significant loss, so we've stuck to USD as our payment currency.

The item price for the order will be 443.88 USD. We can deliver around the end of December. Shipping charge for airmail to Germany will be 99.54 USD. Thus total will be 543.42 USD.

Personally, I think you did a pretty good job on these trainers. I handled Patrick's AT1211, and the trainer you made from the same specs, and they balance pretty closely considering one is steel and the other is a padded trainer. I think your padded trainers are the best on the market.

Added a new RSW Review.

 

26th June 2006

We were mentioned in a report of Atlanta Blade Show 2006.

 

"Next to Gus was Patrick Jones, who was selling RSW's (Realistic Sparring Weapons). These training swords have a metal-reinforced plastic core, a foam layer to absorb the shock, and a fabric layer to hold it all together. One of them handled very similar to Gus's AT1211, and I believe was actually based off of it. I know a few people who use them for sparring and like them but I had never handled them before."

Added an overview of the Western martial arts books by Parke in Weaponry Knowledge.

 

Due to the popularity of the longer weapons and the demand of the package sturdiness have been increasing, we have purchased 100 cardboard boxes with 3 layers construction that reach the upper limit of postal limitation. As a result, each box can now house 12 Katana or 7 European Longswords

 

Although the weight of the box is 2.1 kg / 4lbs 10 oz, we can reduce the box's length within sturdiness margin for the orders of shorter weapons upon customer's request, in order to reduce the shipping cost.

25th January 2005

The move has literally killed both of Lancelot's computer. That was why the website was down for 2 days. Now a new computer has been purchased and the website is running. Due to the installation of various hardware and software, please expect the website to be unstable for a week.

 

18th January 2005

Note of improvement: Learning from our customers' feedback, we have successfully improved the guard on our products. From the beginning of this year, all the guard on our products will be installed with a new method. The material has also been changed to a virtually unbendable metal. In order to reward the patience of the customers who have ordered our products during our move, we will implement these improvements on their order without any extra charge.

Note: Some customers wondered why we do not carry all the models from Fred Chen. Our answer is: We only carry the models we have examined firsthand, approved for historical accuracy in handling characteristic and tested in test cutting to ensure quality. So it will take some time before we can put more models for sale, for we will examine each model and test them before putting it up on the site.
