Fugly rip-off of a sling aside, KoA's always been one of the least-expensive sources of most everything else pointy and hurty :/

Reply #9 - Jun 19^th, 2015 at 8:06am That is a terrible sling. I like KOA though, we ordered some fencing gloves from them last week that we $30 cheaper then where I got the exact same kind. I also bought a Poleaxe from them not long ago that was a good price. But that sling.....

Reply #10 - Jun 20^th, 2015 at 2:18am Although the sling is poop on a stick, I can attest that anything Kult of Athena sells from Windlass Steelcrafts is superb quality and price. Not that I dress up in Greek outfits and parade around, but I did order an authentic Greek spear head and pommel from them years ago and I am still very happy with what I got
