Review: English Longsword by Arms & Armor HD

This is my personal opinion on a recently purchased reproduction of a late 15th century bastard sword made by Arms & Armor, a manufacturer based in Minneapolis, MN, USA. *** Specifications *** Overall length: 110 cm (43 1/2 in) Blade length: 85 cm (33 1/2 in) Weight: 1.2 kg (2.7 lbs) Center of gravity: 14.5 cm (5.7 in) from the guard Blade material: 6150 high carbon steel, tempered to a hardness of about 50 HRC Blade thickness: 4.4 mm near the guard, tapering to 3 mm at the tip Hilt assembly: Peened Price: 860 USD *** Pros / Cons *** + Well made, sturdy hilt and blade + Good balance and handling overall, light weight + Beautiful guard, grip and pommel design - Noticeable gap in the guard (considering the price range) - The edge should be sharper *** Where to find it *** http://ww4.aitsafe.com/go.htm?go=kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=AA194&afid=28632&tm=14&im=1 ******************************************************************************** My favorite online store for buying swords (worldwide shipping): http://ww4.aitsafe.com/go.htm?go=kultofathena.com&afid=28632&tm=14&im=1 Some recommended knife makers on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&bbn=3222119011&camp=1789&creative=9325&fst=as%3Aoff&keywords=knife&linkCode=ur2&qid=1416693524&rh=n%3A3375251%2Cn%3A706813011%2Cn%3A3222111011%2Cn%3A3222119011%2Ck%3Aknife%2Cp_89%3AKershaw%7CVictorinox%7CKa-Bar%7CMorakniv%7CTOPS%20Knives%7CColumbia%20River%20Knife%20%26%20Tool%7CBuck%20Knives%7CBenchmade%7CFallkniven%7CSpyderco%7CSOG%20Specialty%20Knives&rnid=2528832011&tag=skallagrim-20 Want to help fund future videos? http://www.patreon.com/skallagrim My Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SkallagrimYT
