A test of thrusting and cutting strikes against a pig carcass with several different sword styles including European long sword, rapier, and a Japanese tachi. As would be expected, the European swords excelled at thrusting attacks and the tachi excelled at cutting, but the European swords (other than the rapier, of course) did very well at the cutting as well.

Those boys are having way too much fun. Complaining about a 3 month wait time LOL. Albion is like 2 years. Not that I would treat an Albion like that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Albion swords are too expensive for destructive testing.
