Albion Crecy

Postby Wm Sullenger » Fri Jan 27, 2006 8:36 pm

Does anyone have experience with the Albion NG Crecy? I'm curious as to where the forward pivot point is. Also, it looks like it should be a decent cutter? Opinions?

I have no measurements on the pivot point but it feels like a really decent cutter. The Crecy is very lively and responsive but still handles with some authority. A very versitile sword if you ask me.

My original Crecy balances about 5-1/2" in front of the cross. It is a tremendous cutter that I have used to cut triple rolled tatami mats with little effort. It's a pretty darn good sword in my experience.
