I hear that their swords are on the heavy side. But maybe they have changed? What do you think?

[Jeeperrandy]

@TheMedievalMan Yes, they are a bit thicker and heavier than some higher prices swords, like atrim and tinker. It is known that medieval swords from the 10th to 15th were between 3 and 5 lbs ( lighter swords were not made until after the 15th century) so these are still lighter than authentic 14th century swords at just under 3 lbs.

I have the two handed 12th C. Medieval Sword and i love it and its good to see a company not taking short cuts when it comes to building swords

[Jeeperrandy]

@andrewjflemming Agreed. DSA is awesome. I'm currently looking at a few others.

Great sword, but just a comment the word sheath is for a knife.

[Jeeperrandy]

@wolfmaster555 Actually ( from online sources ) Sheath may refer to: Scabbard, a sheath for holding a sword, knife, or other large blade, as well as guns, such as rifles.

But I still believe scabbard is a more correct term in regards to swords. Cheers.

[Jeeperrandy]

@wolfmaster555 Yes, the proper sword term is scabbard. I make these videos without script or much forethought. I'll try to remember next time. Regards, Randy
