Thoughts on DSA

So far my experience with DSA is that in only buying a replica sword. But, my interests lie in the real deal.
Therefore, since my buying experience was without flaw over the internet, im going to go ahead when ready and order a hand forged sword. If their swords are as flawless as their business practices, then a handmade scabbard or a scratch in a blade isn't enough to scare me from owning the real deal.
In fact I'm sure, that if compared to the average sword of the 1500's or earlier, these are ashtetically more appealling to the eye anyways.
But in my mind the functionality far outweigh the cosmetics. Its what make the sword more appaling to own for me the fact that you can tell it was hand made.
