Albion The Bersica Spadona | Review and Cut Testing | Kult of Athena

Order this blade here: www.kultofathen...
This long sword is referred to as ''spadona da una mano e mezza'' or longsword of one hand and a half and dates from the mid 1400's. It is born from a meeting between great sword manufacturing areas. The blade was forged by one of the masterful swordsmiths in the renowned workshops of Passau, in southern Germany. From here it was exported to a north Italian sword cutler who mounted the blade according to his and his customers ideals. The beautifully proportioned hilt is of Italian manufacture in a style that was popular during the first half of the 15th century. The well-forged cross combines graceful shape with sturdy construction, and the pommel is octagonal with its upper faces hollow ground for an elegant appearance and deadly effect in close quarter combat.

I do love to see your method of using it, since you come from a filipino martial arts background. Very different movements than I'm used to.

[@not-a-raccoon]

I can see what Balaur arms patterned their Italian Longsword after. I got one of the factory 2nds for practice, love the blade. Nowhere in the same league as Albion, obviously

[@billyheaning]

I noticed the same thing, too.

[@MikeHalley]

Beautiful sword I have ordered the Ljubljana

That's a beautiful sword

[@uniqueknifes6609]

love this blade

[@SucculentDoorbell]

This is a finely executed design. The weldiness is a huge plus. Mmm... Could the lightness be replicated even with a thicker blade but it's not as wide?

[@brandonriggle3860]

Beautiful

[@darthvaper6745]

Holy shitballs!!!!! YESSS PLEASSSE!

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

A fine sword!

[@cuachogaidh]

I have an Albion on order, it's proper torture having to wait a year🤐

[@cuachogaidh]

@nightmare Shadow typically I'd agree, but as a collector I wanted at least one Albion

[@AdamsBrew78]

What’s the closest you can get to Albion quality builds for under $500? (doesn’t have to be a historical recreation)

[@billyheaning]

Balaur Arms 15th Century Italian Longsword is exactly what you're looking for. Hilt design is nearly identical. Blade itself is an Oakeshott type XVIIIa (or b), 5160 spring steel. $250. www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=BR104

He's so excited because its the first time he ever made it through a tatami mat with that awful cutting technique.

[@viralkaos930]

Annnnnnd, it’s gone.

[@fishsohorny]

Less than two minutes in I could tell that you have no idea how to handle a longsword

[@fishsohorny]

To be fair, after I watched more you actually did the handshake grip with pinky control on the pommel. If you know how to cut with a longsword you shouldn't review it while playing up how much space it has to hold it wrong
