The twisted ribbon style handles,when sprayed with the laquer, seemed awfully rough. That may wear down with some use, but I didn't handle them all that much. My first impression was that I loved the sword, but the grips were probably going to keep me from buying one unless they were changed.

Sounds reasonable. When I first saw them...the discussion on how the handles enables "more options" for designs kindof stunned me, as I thought the sword would have been perfect with a regulator style Res-C handle.

Such is life...I don't own a business and could only hope to make it as far as Dan has. I respect the hard decisions they have to make, and I'm sure it's for good reason not shared here.

The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.
