Sword Review - Balaur Arms 14th Century Longsword

Описание: #longsword #swordreview #testcutting #sword #medieval

Balaur Arms is now being made by Windlass Steelcraft, with the designs by Kult of Athena. In this review, I go over my thoughts on how the new models compare to the old, the problems I have with this sword (and with Kult of Athena), give my verdict about whether it's worth the asking price, and offer some suggestions for improvement.

Hope you don't mind the longer video. I had quite a lot to say about this one.
