It's a good thing that you covered SIGI at the end. I was wondering why SIGI is not producing side-swords, when they are offering katanas. Now I know that Martin Fabian doesn't hate side-swords. All that's left is for me to wonder why someone that's known for his Fabris and Giganti doesn't push his co-owned company to offer a swept-hilt rapier in addition to the existing cup-hilt. Or does he expect me to practice Italian sources using a cup-hilt rapier... and wear clothes? That's not what the old masters teach us! :)
