I handled several of his swords a little over a year ago. A rapier was very quick and light, but the blade was bit on the short side. Its matching dagger handled quite nicely, and was wickedly sharp and pointy. A schiavona handled nicely, but the blade narrowed too much to have any decent cutting power. The one reviewed this week has a better proportioned blade, IMO. A viking sword was little more than a polished crowbar, way too heavy, no balance, etc. I was quite surprised by this, considering the other work, but it seems like others have handled better versions of his viking swords.

It was hard biting my tongue on this one since this topic was first posted.


I'll bet. Happy The review seems to bolster the general consensus that was developing. (In my mind anyway Happy )
