Customer Feedback about the Tempar Sword:

"Greetings, My new Darksword Two Handed Templar arrived today and I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with it. The craftsmanship is evident throughout. There's an Irish Hospitallers sword in our family, but not being the eldest son, it wasn't passed to me. This sword is a very close representation of that one, including the simplicity, length and heft. Anyhow, I'm very pleased and will not hesitate to order from Darksword again."

"I received my sword last evening and it has exceeded my already high expectations. It is pristine and wonderful. I will acquire all my future blades from Darksword. Feel free to use me as a reference. Very respectfully, William Edward Graf v. Ettendorf-ReBrook".
