Medieval Sword Tests 5 of 5

The final 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 on a steel pole, and all actually held up extremely well. Swords were then tested edge to edge, with the Kriegschwert and the Tinker Pearce Longsword proving to be slightly harder steel than the Black Prince and Archers sword, which was something of a surprise.

0:18 and 0:36 shows the same exact same details, did you forget to put the Black Prince's results picture?

I'll still take the black prince.

I beleive that steel pole or what ever it is, is why the tip on the tinker two handed sword bent, pretty sure the tip rammed into it, so yeah it would roll up like it did. It wasnt designed to peirce steel plate.

Why do people don't just call the "Kriegschwert" warsword? That doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, nice swords, nice video, but you used a result twice. Sorry for my poor english, I'm swiss.
