The new AT Maker's Mark XIII Triple-Fuller appears to use the same blade as the AT Moonbrand XIV (see the reviews page). The fullers are reduced by one and lengthened. The new XIII is a compact sword that handles very well (IMHO).

Well, if this is the case, why not go with an Albion XIV as is? If you're doing I:33 stuff then you don't even need to be able to have a second hand on the sword, since you'd be using a buckler. And truly, you won't require two hands to be able to effectively wield a one handed sword. I understand that the XIVs from Albion are very agile as it is, as are swords like the Poitiers and the Reeve and Bayeux.

I guess I'm coming at this from a bit of a purist's perspective- why mess with a good thing?


Because it's fun. Razz

And because sometimes you have to dare messing around with good things a bit if you want to find out what makes them good and how to make them better. Or at least different.

The sword is an ode to the strife of mankind.
