Done dirty by Kult of Athena. My wooden hilt on a Baselard came in chipped, & updates on tracking were unreliable. When the sword arrived, it came without a scabbard. I contacted them via ****************** & it took them forever to get back to me. They first accused me of not knowing how to look in a box; said the scabbard was in the packing paper. I explained to them that I had spread out & flattened the packing paper so as to re-wrap the sword for my fiance, so -- unless the scabbard was as thin as paper, it was not in th... read more

Quality items and reasonable timing of shipping given the distance. Their shipping department missed a backpiece and one buckle/rivet was popped on the chest piece, but when brought to their attention, they refunded the difference between 'used' and 'new' (given the busted rivet) and re-shipped the backpiece at no cost to us.Shipper ******* was also an issue collecting the duty but again, they re-shipped for us ****** said duty was not collected and returned the item, there was no deadline for payment in the ***** email and ... read more

Ordered a sword that was on sale for $26 dollars. Waited the appropriate 6-8 weeks, and it was still in the "processing" stage. I emailed them asking for an ETA. Four days later I get this response..."It looks like we tried to reach out to you about your order. When you placed your order, our company was undergoing new system integrations. For some of the items the correct amount didn't transfer over properly. At the time you placed your order the price was listed at $26.00 when it is actually $288.00. We have your order cur... read more

So far not good. Sword was very dirty. Glue like sticky substance all over the sword. Inside the sheath the same thing. So far no reply on email ticket and nobody is answering their phone.

A terrible company all around. Poorly packaged items, damages from shipping. Product (sword) was very inferior in finish, fitment and sharpening looked like a 8 year old did it with a rock. The sheath literally fell apart on day 3. I received nothing but smart mouth and nasty attitude from customer service. I will never order from kult of(thievery) athena again.
