Treat the guard and pommel with Birchwood Casey Perma Blue a couple times. Clean and oil afterword's. It looks good, it's period correct and it helps mitigate rust. And it's super easy.
I like this sword for its crescent type D-ish pommel and correct lenticular cross section. Very unique pommel and rarely seen on reproduction swords! I like it even more now that I have seen you cut with it. Seemed to me that the base could be a bit wider and slightly thicker to have more distal taper, but as it is, the sword works well, especially when paired with a shield! Wodan sure is pleased!
Great review gentlemen! Never sell yourselves short, because knowing that one sword “feels” better in your hand (physically, & mentally), is more important than knowing why it does! Having the knowledge sure doesn’t hurt, don’t get me wrong, but what you guys feel about it is a better indicator to me how I might feel about it! Especially when you both agree with each other! Thanks guys, you’re “Cool Cats Man!” Lol! Best wishes to you and your family’s.✌️🇺🇸
I prefer the asymmetrical parts of the sword, you see this in historical extant pieces aswell so it's closer to the real thing then a perfect 100% symmetrical sword.
I, (Jon), am.totally with you. I enjoy a bit of imperfection in my finish, provided it doesn't interfere with functionality.
This sword is a great example of perfection being sacrificed for good functionality at a great price. I can't recommend it enough!
Thanks for watching!
Odd that the Windlass-produced sword is exhibiting much the same rust problems that I've had with the OTC-produced Balaur Arms. Even with that, I think these are in general pretty damn decent swords for the money. While I appreciate the uptick in quality in the new models with LK Chen as the supplier, I think it's a shame Balaur Arms seems to be moving away from that price point into the midrange.
I've eyed this sword on KoA many times, and still might pull the trigger at some point. Great job on the review.
Thank you sir. This is definitely worth picking up I think.
Would a smooth pommel affect its durability because of less material? Im new to euro swords but work in metal fabrication and seems like a chunky peen would be stronger. LET ME KNOW
