Destructive Testing on a 55 Gallon Drum

FULL REVIEW: http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/knight-sword.html

Generally only reserved for US$500 to $1000 swords such as Atrims and Albions, this test proves that the forged in Canada sub US$300 swords by Darksword Armoury are at least as durable as those 4 times the price.

Excellent steel, and the whole sword assembled extremely well - I was very surprised at the result. The damage dealt to the drum was more than what Albion swords had done, and the blade was less damaged too...

that's a pretty tough sword for one that is machine crafted

[SwordBuyersGuide]

Actually they are hand made in Canada, though still production swords - and under US$300! :-) Definitely good bang for the buck.

I just got through watching a vid from jpfranco99 "How it's made-Albion Sword" and in the vid they have a machine cutting out the sword from a block of carbon steel...hmmm maybe some of Albion swords are hand forged...i dunno..

[SwordBuyersGuide]

Ah - different brand. These are Darksword Armoury, much cheaper and less historical in their blade geometries and appearance than Albion.

witch sword do you like better, this sword or the tenchi?

[SwordBuyersGuide]

Oh, I can't decide between them really. Two very different swords, I like them for very different reasons. ;-)

Looks better for thrusting than slicing.

[helwalker]

excellent proformance. sharpened just enough to chop into human body. and edge angle is bigger enough to not clip after hitting the hard target.

your drum is a 44 gal. But bignoting your drum didnt take anything away from the swords performance. I like

[nubpwnage69]

Not extremely sharp but still very sharp I do believe

@neoconker Depends on the sword, a falchion or a grosse messer is a very scary cutter, Personally I've never seen a piercing weapon from asia to match a European one, besides that katanas are ultra brittle, edges roll incredibly easy against a hard target by nature of the design.

im more of a longsword person x3

[scorpiovang911]

no need to buy swords unless u want to good outside and play grand theft auto

[5tristanvm]

a samurai can do beter than tht lol :P

[AkiraSieghart]

I feel bad for your hand...the recoil of the blade hitting the barrel must've hurt a bit...

[bobomajojo2]

how do you know if a katana blade is strong when its onlinne? and what is the best way to forge a strong katana?

@neoconker i would be more worried about your comment if you were better at trolling
