Just coming back into the hobby, so not sure what else is out there. Of the two, I prefer the new one. But ideally, I'd like to see a mix of the two. A narrow, straight blade but slightly longer and with the hooked end and and a bulkier guard around the knuckles. I do prefer the slimmer hilt.

I actually like both :( I would like to see the area behind the "Fingers?" on the new one built up to have the same type of sweeping blade flow like the old one. I guess its a cop out but I would like it if you merged the two. The old one seems a bit bulky and big at times and the new one seems a bit thin and frail in comparison.

Personally, I prefer the thicker hooked blades of the older versions. The thinner style blades are honestly available in one form or another on a dozen sites already, the older version is actually unique and interesting. The older heavy blades were what brought me to your site after seeing them on a buddies models. I would not buy the newer ones.

I like the new one much better. But I do like the aggresive "Hook" Tip of the older one...
Very Nice!

New one is so much better, I'll be getting 4 of them for my swarmlord wip as soon as it comes out :P
Wouldn't even change a thing.

I like the leaner look of the new one, but the hand guards of the right one look better.
Please make normal and large sized versions.

I like the thinner shape of the left one more, but I think a few parts of the old are nicer -- bigger hand guard and the 'hook' in particular; but definitely love the overall shape of the new one.

For Warrior size I like the one on the left, for Monstrous, I think the more aggressive design makes for a nice feel.

I like the one on the left better. It seems more streamlined and elegant.

I actually like the old one better, it looks heavier and more brutal. I like an exaggerated lethality on my miniature weapons.

So much better!!!
I really like the one on the left. IMHO the right one is too fat.
