Okay, as much as we all dislike Raid Shadow Legends for sponsoring every video under the sun and being a pretty shitty game, can we at least appreciate that pallarium pays out so many thousands of moneys for each of the sponsorships, that they probably support as much of an economy as old school runescape.

[@shawnwolf5961]

@TheCCPfearsANZ Thats your opinion. I play the game, and quite enjoy it. There's a lot of strategy/grind needed to get just the right gear to deal with just the right situation, AND it is more than doable to progress in the game without pay (I know because I have done so). Yeah it has the trimmings of any mobile Gotcha, but at least with *this* game, I can stay a free to play player, and do just fine. People only shit on Raid because it's a meme thing to do. Most, I suspect like you, have never even touched the game

[@frankindabank]

Actually I like the Raid most of all mobile games so far and I tried a lot, but its more of a resource management and puzzle game not a RPG. You get champs then need to decide which one to build and find a team with synergy to beat the content. And I like that.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

@@frankindabank there is some of that. And i did enjoy raid for a while when i played it. But whenever i logged on it took.5 minutes to get through all the microtransaction popups, and by then my phone was already burning hot, both of which are terrible. Both warhammer 40K, lost crusade, and the brillant Darkness survival, were way more fun to play, and had way better longevity of play. Darkness survival is a rougelike, so thats a bit of an advantage, but even so it's a million times better than Raid.

[@antonakesson]

I looked up the site and the price already hit me as being a bit on the cheaper side, doesn't neccerly reflect the quality mind you, but then I saw the material and got really worried. Stainless steel swords. Had to think for a second on what Skall and the others have said regarding it. Skall has said some stainless steels can be decent but this type of steel was not one that he mentioned. Searching up the steel quality and I am constantly met with "low end steel" and "soft steel". Some call it decent knife steel while many others call it budget knife steel. The biggest offender is the soft part. I read that this steel is pretty bad for edge retention. So I am a bit on the fence here. It could be that it is the heat treatment that saves these swords but I don't know. I would have to see some more professional testings on these swords to be convinced. Looks pretty good from this video but as I said the type of steel has me worried.

Bone is one of the most abusive materials that a blade could come in contact with. Especially "cured" bone. Not so much because of it's hardness, or durability; but because of how it breaks as it's hacked and cut. It simply refuses to cut or break in a line. It always breaks in arcs. Which is very similar to ice or glass. So, at the moment of impact, bone actually tries to turn the edge to either side, as it gives way. And, the deeper you cut, the more opportunities there are for this effect to occur; worst case being the edge attempting to turn in alternating directions, as it bites deeper. As hard as you're swinging that sword, I'm surprised it held up so well. The smiths did a fine job making that sword!

[@FHC...]

It will yield the same result. Smashing and bashing against something made to slash will deform and chip away at it. Both the Katana and these Turk blades are very good at doing what they were meant to do, neither is superior nor inferior. The only thing that sets them apart is that the Katana is a two-handed weapon and the Turk sword is one-handed, the former can cut through a body while the latter can leave deep wounds. All that matters is how skilled the wielder is and how he uses them.

@@ozmobozo He knows one or two things about metallurgy. But thats pretty much it. I know a bit more about swords, and i can tell you that both of these swords arent very high quality products. The round and thick handles are very bad for your edge alinement when cutting. Also the extreme weight of 1,5kg is much too heavy for a one-handed sword. The edge damage taken during the bone-test is not within the range that is to be expected. A bit of damage is ok, but not as much as those swords took. Furthermore the crossguard came loose after just one or two blows, which is utterly unacceptable. Finally the fittings of the scabbard are not well fitted to the shape of the scabbard. They are just blocky and stick out, which makes it look very cheap. Sure, if you just want to cut a melon in your backyard, then this probably isnt a problem for you (litually every sword can do that...you dont need a review for this) But if you actually want a historically accurate reproduction that is well made and thoeretically usable for combat, then this is a problem.

I actually just purchased the blade you* are referring to as Mehmed's. I had not watched this review at the time, and it is not named that way on their site. I wanted Vlad's. Swordbuy now has a full recreation of Mehmed's fancy blade, and I loved the similarities. (I bought this specific blade to be a historically accurate representation of Vlad III Drăculești's blade.)* Vlad being Mehmed's training partner when they were boys, it would make sense he would have the same style of blade. Vlad, however, would have been one to sneer at the ostentatious, gold engraved blade. "Fitting for Mehmed to have a sword requiring an empire to maintain. He was always needlessly extravagant, after all. I've always preferred something you can get dirty." Then again, Vlad did chop more bones with that type of sword than Mehmed did. Mehmed had men to do that for him.

Either would cripple a horse let alone a human. I'd like to ses Matt Easton or Skallagrim test these. Edit: a shame they're all stainless steel :/
