"It is hard to measure the value of a Crisp and Sons Sword in purely financial terms. Aesthetics, craftsmanship and reliability all make their contributions. We purposefully design, produce, and test every sword to last for generations. This allows us to say: "You never actually own your own Sword. You merely look after it for the next generation." Perhaps though, the true value is emotional. The desire to pass on a treasured possession, an heirloom, to a son or daughter can find no greater expression than in a Crisp and Sons Sword. Lasting value is both material and emotional."
