They were rental swords. I'd give the company name, but I don't want to give bad press -- they've been very dependable and professional with me, and I've rented several weapons from them since, including daggers, swords, and blank-firing starter pistols and rifles. The sword broke at the tang.
Never stage fight with a wall hanger sword, it could be deadly. Get a Paul Chen Practical knightly with the square tang protruding from the pommel, for $100 or their Tinker early medieval sword for $250 if you want something that handles more historically accurate. These blades are tempered and not sharp or pointy. Rat tail tang swords like the one in the video are not tempered have improper grain structure, and will break at the hilt eventually sending the sword flying.
i love how the were both like aw damn... then macduff f- it i beat you with the hilt

why is the guy with the sword running AWAY from the guy with NO swords.
There is a advantage fighting a guy with no sword when you have a sword.

Curious to hear from the actors what kind of sword this was.

I love the "Oh crap!" moment! Great job by both actors. The Scots have always been deadly boxers.
