The fourth phase of comparative side by side sword testing on the Valiant Armory Kriegschwert, Hanwei (Tinker Pearce) Longsword and Darksword Armory Black Prince and Archers Sword.

Each sword was tested both for its thrusting and cutting capability on a suit of maille armor, with additional strikes performed on the steel helmet. Most swords had little trouble, though the Hanwei/Tinker Pearce sword did suffer a surprise (90 degree) bend to the tip.

More videos in this series to be uploaded shortly with the full review and test results to be posted on our sister site: http://www.sword-manufacturers-guide.com

  • i like the part at 54 sec where you grabbed a handfull of tit after you stabbed her in the guts. fucken pisscutter

  • Eeeesh on kriegschwert vs helmet

  • 1:11 finish him

  • @Shadow022393 100000% RIGHT!

  • @Shadow022393 nice sword thou

    

  • @Shadow022393 no it doesn't

  • @ArmandoseCaballero The maille is butted, not rivetted, so the gauge is not that important. For butted maille to be effective, it has to be wound several turns (like the ring of a keyring) to be effective, or it will open. The maille in this video is NOT historical, and NOT effective. SBG should really have pointed that out, as there is a world of difference between the maille in this video and rivetted maille. This piece of maille is hardly protective at all.

  • what i don't get is how the black prince got damaged when nothing happened to it on the armor but the other ones got damaged

  • or might get the archer sword

  • the DSA black prince seems pretty awesome planning to get one
