  1. an easy fix for a rattling scabbard is to line the throat/ opening with some leather with a good fur or grit on the back. this will give a little grip to the blade while inside the scabbard so it will stay put a little better. windlass swords are notoriously large for the blades so thats how i fix it.

  2. I enjoyed your video, I am new to your channel. I like that you dressed up for the video, instead of wearing modern clothes. I purchased the Crusader dagger from Dark Sword Armory (D.S.A). The dagger came sharpened, I am not completely satisfied with the edge. I guess for a dagger; a parrying and thrusting weapon the edge is adequate. I am planning on purchasing the D.S.A Crusader sword(s) one and two handed sword unsharpened. I have a enough swords, were I believe, I know the exact angle of the bevel I want on my blades.

  3. Very nice demonstration. I love the adventure immersion from all of your videos, it just transports me.

    I have not purchased any stage combat or otherwise steel-blade swords, but I have made many LARP swords that I find to be while not actually functional, very good for the look and feel.

  4. You're not alone man. Sharpness issues happen across the board, even with trusted brands like Windlass, Darksword, Hanwei, etc. Even the famed Albion swords come not fully sharp sometimes.

  5. Its not historical, its not a type 14, its a fantasy sword.
    You can cut a milk jug with a metal ruler. Those hard plastics take proper sharpness and edge geometry,
    That edge geometry is an abomination! Good grief!
    Id stay away from DSA, at that price you could've baught an Albion

  6. something that I think may be worth investigating with your bottle test, specifically the bottle after the V8 bottle, is that I'm familiar with some of the cheaper water bottles, and I've noticed that the plastic bottles are…squishy? I don't know why, though I've been told it's because they use recycled plastic. But I think when enough force hits it, the plastic will warp and displace the water, causing the bottle to rupture and break at other points instead of the point of impact.
