I purchased one from Arms & Armor over 20 years ago and i still have it. I have heard other experts claim it's a bastard sword.

Beautiful work 👏

I was bummed to see the scallop wasn't listed this morning. Was that an error or did someone swoop it up before the sale?

Sweet. I think the relative of that pommel is on my trainer you made.

Axesons for Saxons...

Do you guys ship to Europe?

Late to the video, but love the content. I was doing research for a gaming group and this was very informative!

The "French sword" (3rd in the line-up) looks really nice. I would personally go for an Italian look and a German style as a second choice. But the disc pommel on the "French sword" looks good. It has some subtle geometry to it, and it's more flat than I would have thought.

I love them but unless you discounted to the point you loose money on it I can't afford one now. Congratulations to those who do get them!

Merry Axemas!

Yay!

I didn't know the term "welded" was used when talking in terms of in period construction. Very nice axes. Love axes and war hammers

We are told not to keep swords and axes on their leather sheaths. Where is it advisable to keep them? I guess that a cardboard sheath is even worse than leather because it will retain more humidity. Plastic then? A box?

Don’t forget the bardiche! ❤️

I'm an axe man. I love and want them all. Thank you

That sword wind gave me a chubby. Man if I had won the lottery Tues. I'd buy them all. Love your work. Happy Thanksgiving Dr. and all the crew at A&A

Two of them appear to have already sold and the other three are not listed on the web page.

Ohhh my, that type 18 is an absolute beauty to my eyes !!!

With the final axe, you can choke up the grip to right under the head. Handy when trimming wood or dressing meat.

A wonderful Stocking stuffer😊😊

Can this piece be ordered off your website?

Very Nice - Thank You ! 😎👍

Could you fight with one of these in a tight corridor? Like 5' wide? 10' wide? Asking for a friend who plays D&D. :)

Interesting point about using a peen block. Do you guys do a lot of rehiltings? Do we get one mulligan if we change our mind after receiving the sword and want to change the grip shape lol?

Gorgeous sword. One of the first longswords I bought was the Windlass replica of this sword and it's kind of hilarious; they must have gotten the dimensions wrong, like squishing up an image in MS Paint, because it's way too short and stubby, so it behaves in a very interesting (not particularly good) way in the hand.

Thanks for sharing the information, also the book.

Yay!

a really well thought of hand and a half design

A difference that I notice is that the handle riser is much closer to the hilt in the reproduction, The handle shape is also a bit different.

Looks like your dimesion for the grip is off, looks like the riser swell was placed too high, the original had one full hand in there, this one looks like it came up short. awesome job on everything else!

It's kind of funny how you demonstrate and praise the benefit of the grip shape on the original, and throw that completely over board on the reproduction, by making something that just somehow looks like it the original but doesn't have the same functionality.

Was the guard of the original gilded? It kinda looking like that in some of the shots.

I love both. 500 year old leather is cool. Thank you.

4:50 I think the pommel looks great with the little nut on top. As it was meant to be there.

If you use a dagger in armour, your likely not using it the same as without Armour. Your likely wrestling, trying to jab the point in to a the mail, then pushing through, apposed to swing stabbing.

Yay

Love the videos and blog posts! Helps the poors like me engage with A+A :)

Your videos really are excellent! Always learn something new from you guys 🤘💀 I'm off to fill up my wine tub before the first frost

Excellent guys love the content 👌

The CONTENT is premium quality, the Videos themselves...are OK.

Yeah. All my fault for clicking…. Thanks guys. Good to see the shop in good hands.

Hah, well I don't mind being one of the 26 dupes. Would you guys show some closeups of the eastern European sabres in the background some time and maybe talk about those? I have a Polish book on them but it's a little tricky to read. :oP Also I like seeing the antiques.

Love the content, hope to come back for more for years to come!

Yes, yes, but are you guys ok? 😏

I love the A&A videos, please keep them coming!

Perfect!, Minimalist social media. Keep it up!

I dig your videos. They are informative and fun. I'd much rather see a video with the makers of a product, like you guys, than a video with someone whose just trying to sell me a product. Good looking out and stopping the text guy. I can't stand having commercials pushed on me everywhere I go, even the weather channel does it now. Keep up the good work. Prost !

Love your videos, please keep them coming! Thank you for not spamming me with texts.

Laird's is awesome

Well, there is a whole agency to guide us, the ATF. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, who am I to argue? Also, wearing the apron to drink whiskey, good forward thinking.
