My pleasure, Ian! And I look forward to hearing their replies and your views on the sword you finally decide upon.

Small correction to the review of the Pavel Moc Lichtenauer longsword:

Pavel can't currently offer harder hardening of his standard swords, only for his more luxurious swords.

He is seeking new steel hardeners though to be able to offer this in the future.

Yeah, he mentioned that to me in his email reply. Tis a pity for now, but hey, I gotta give him kudos for trying to find alternatives

Thats a real man of character, always seeking to make his products BETTER for everyone

I completely agree. Many swordsmiths use partners for the actual hardening and tempering and Pavel uses a Czech steel hardener for this. Unfortunately the other closest steel hardener he has found is in Belgium, which would of course add substantially to the price.

The swords he makes are still good though, but require some more maintenance than the Albions.

maintenance as in smoothing out burrs and stuff? Thats something ALL steel blunts have to deal with eventually. or are other things such as corrosion and structural integrity a matter as well?

Nope just burrs. And that also relates to how you fence, using the edge and the flat and alignment.
