As someone who practices with both curved Oriental swords and straight European swords I will say this your thrust game is on point but you're cut seem just a little off it might be just a minut change in your edge alignment the blade may also need a slight touch-up but otherwise very good cuts
This is definitely a hand and a half sword. A longsword basically, It's too short and the grip is too small for a two handed one, two handed grips are usually like 1.5x longer than longsword grips.

Great work on the review man!
Hell yes, blend me some more HEMA and Mord. Jisse broke that seal for me. Keep it coming.
nice!
2 handed cut oriented swords are ideal for citizen militias as side arms
The most beautiful sword I've seen is from dark souls, the silver knights longsword.
It's just the most gorgeous blade I've seen.
Your cutting issue is almost certainly down to sharpness. Bottle cutting in particular requires a very sharp sword.

do you consider this a 2 handed or a hand and a half weapon?
