Today, we take a look at a high end type XIV arming sword. This isn't just any sword; it's part of the acclaimed Vision series, a highly anticipated collaboration between two giants in the modern sword-making world: the meticulous craftsmanship of Valiant Armoury and the legendary blade geometry of Angus Trim.
Swords in this series come with a significant promise: exceptional handling combined with exquisite aesthetics. And from our initial impressions, the Milan doesn't disappoint in delivering on that promise. However, such a premium offering comes with an equally premium price tag: a formidable $1,295 for the sword alone, or $1,695 for the complete package including scabbard and belt.
This raises the crucial question we'll be exploring throughout this review: Does the Valiant Armoury/Angus Trim Milan truly justify its steep price tag? Or does being out of reach for many enthusiasts overshadow what is otherwise a truly remarkable piece of functional art? Join us as we delve into every aspect of this sword in our official review. Cheers!
