Sorry guys, I'm working on it, but I'm trying to get this hilt absolutely perfect as well.
As soon as I have answers, I'll post them up.
Right now I'm waiting on the final renders and quotes from the machine shop. However, that being said, with the amount of support I've seen on this, I'm going to see about doing a rather large batch of these in hopes that it will bring the price down for you guys.
PLEASE be patient with me, good work takes time. The more time I take planning, the better the end product will be, and the FASTER you guys will end up getting them from me. Proper planning will make this run go quickly and smoothly.
