I have heard great things about the other products, but can't seem to find anything on the side sword. I figured the reviews are probably favorable, but just wanted to hear it from someone dire...

After learning more about the English Longsword I think I will get back to that weapon (and my plans for money didn't pan out as well as I had hoped). I think instead I will go back to Longsword for the moment and purchase the new(ish) book on the English sword that's out there. I tell ya, it's hard...
