@Sareth14 What would you do with it? A cheap sword wouldn't look to good on a wall, so unless your planning to kill someone it would be useless. Furthermore there is no such thing as cheap but good swords, even factory made ones cost over a hundred bucks. However if your not planning to use in self defense or any other type of combat and just want one to like swing around and put on display, then a wooden sword would be the way to go. I have one that I bought at the mall for like $15.
I was really taken back by the way you present yourself with the sword, which makes me wanna get the sword or swords that you are presenting! Great job..
hi paul, i saw one of your videos a few days ago and was wondering if u could do a review of the valiant armory crusader. maybe if u could, i would like to see it compared to the castille
The DSAs look horrible. Clunky fittings, no distal taper, and that tacky finish. They work if you want a sharpened club that looks like a sword, but if you want a good sword at a reasonable price, look elsewhere.
Hi Paul, I purchased some swords from SBG and was very happy, nice hefty swords.
I like these videos where you talk a bit more about the weapons. Balance is definitely a very important consideration for me.
Whether you have a heavy, durable sword, or nice, agile lightweight, balance is very, very important. And not just for technique, but also for endurance. If you have a tip-heavy sword, you can definitely get tired from swinging it 100 times or more, especially if it's a one-handed sword.
@iliketha lol an inch is a lot in terms of balance :p

Uh? My Archer's Sword from Scottish Heritage in Scotland (obviously) looks a lot different. See my videos on my channel to see it!

Hi Paul, I really like my Kriegschwert, and I recently bought an "Austrian Greatsword" from Christian Fletcher.
It should be an incredible cutter, it's blade is 2.25" wide and has the same fittings as my Kriegschwert.

how come you talk in some videos but not others?

I just bought a Kriegschwert on ebay for $309.
I couldn't make one as cheaply because of the man hours required.
I could make 3 or 4 Damascus knives each worth as much as this sword in the same amount of time.
For that reason the only swords I make are pattern welded viking swords.
This looks like a damned nice sword to me.
