Review of 5 swords

[Lance Chan]

It's been a while since I wrote anything new on my website and recently we've purchased 4 low-end swords to see how good their value hold. Along with my new longsword I acquired last year, a review of 5 different swords was written. It's very exhausting. I hope you find this entertaining.

My friend Kalun did a few perfect cuts with the Windlass 15th century longsword. I examined the edge of the shamshir and the 15th century longsword. They showed some wear and tear from cutting water-filled plastic bottles in noticible rate. According to previous experience, that would rank their metallurgy about the same with some Chinese made low-end to middle-end swords. One thing to note is that the Tinker sword survived many more bottles and showed almost no sign of dulling, while the spadona survived about 1/2 of the amount the tinker did, and showed a little sign of dulling. Given than the spadona has a thinner geometry than every other sword, I would say that both Tinker and Albion are outmatching these windlass swords in metallurgy.
