| Video Discription | So far I wasn't terribly impressed with most budget priced and even mid-range longswords... "you get what you pay for" seems to be particularly true for European sword reproductions. This one though... I mean... how is that even possible?? :D By far the best cutting performance I've ever tested in this price range. Under $500 USD for something that can compete even with some Albion blades? Madness, I tell you. It's based on an Oakeshott Type XVIIIc hand-and-a-half sword from the arsenal of Alexandria, dating to the early 15th century (1414-1419). *** Balaur Arms Type XVIIIc Alexandria - Specifications *** Overall length: 114.5 cm (45'') Blade length: 88 cm (34.64'') Blade thickness: 7mm (≈ 1/4'') at guard, 2 mm (1/16'') at tip (now that's an aggressive distal taper!) Point of balance: 7 cm (2-3/4'') Weight: 1.52 kg (3 lbs 5.6 oz) Blade material: GB 60Si2MnA spring steel Guard & pommel: Stainless steel Hilt construction: Full tang, peened *** Pros / Cons *** + Exceptional value for the price + Excellent cutting blade + Light & nimble + Rock-solid fit - Comparatively fragile edge (like the original) - Scabbard fitting can scrape the blade (UPDATE: Fixed in the current version) *** Where to buy it *** https://www.kultofathena.com/product/balaur-arms-15th-century-type-xviiic-alexandria-sword/?koa=259 *** Sources *** https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/23189 http://www.christies.com/features/Discovery-Bashford-Dean-sword-6932-3.aspx *** Music credits *** Outro: "Highland Storm" by The Slanted Room Records https://theslantedroom.github.io/steve.yee/ Used with artist's permission *** Merch *** https://www.bonfire.com/store/skallswag/ If you want to join Bonfire to start selling your own merch: https://www.bonfire.com/welcome/07bb14169c804/ *** Support the channel *** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server: http://www.patreon.com/skallagrim https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: https://www.kultofathena.com/?koa=259 Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: http://www.woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 Want to treat your face fluff?
