Mr. Doug,

I think I'm interested in possibly acquiring the this sword but I have a couple of questions for you, before I commit... Are you located in Brazil and does the cost that you've quoted include the shipping and insurance? It looks like it does but i don't want to be incorrectly presumptuous.
 
Good for your interest friend Yes, I ship with insurance and tracking! no danger Where are you from ?

I'm waiting for your return friend!
 
Hello again... I apologize for the delayed reply but I've been out of the country for the last three weeks, and had very little to no cell service. I would very much like to acquire this blade but my expenses while I was gone were more than tripled, and that put the kibosh on my ability to add to my personal collection. I'm expecting to start a job in the next ten days, which could mean that I would have some leeway with my discretionary funds, but I can't imagine that this fine blade will still be available by then.

Hey friend, yes, it is, but depending on you, I can reserve it for you, as I was already selling it!
Then, when I get the funds, we can ship it!
What do you think?
 
Hi friend,
I waited a while for your reply and received a tempting offer.
We can make something to order if you're interested!
Thanks for looking!
 
Congratulations on acquiring this beautiful blade, Mr. Johnny. It was a bittersweet moment when I had to say I would not be capable of making the purchase myself. Perhaps one day in the not too distant future, I might be able to ask Mr. Doug if he would be willing to create a somewhat similar blade for my collection. I'm REALLY glad you are able to appreciate this sword while it rests in your hands. Would you please let us know what you think of it, when you've gotten it? I'm asking because photos of works of art very seldom do them justice.

Of course we can make friends I'm sad not to make the pieces available to everyone. I'm making a similar one for another client, when I can fit yours I'll be making it! No commitment but she will certainly have a happy owner! I hope it's you lol!
 
Hey, Steve.

Thank you. I appreciate you reaching out. I will absolutely let you know my thoughts on this blade when I receive it. What I can tell you now, is that I purchased a large bowie knife from Doug earlier this year, and the pictures he posted of that blade could not accurately convey the beauty and quality of what showed up at my doorstep. I was thoroughly impressed with his work! I am hopeful of a similar experience with this blade, and will keep you posted.
