Hi all,

I am looking into getting either the DSA Anduril or the DSA Ranger but don't know enough about either of them.

I'm wondering what everyone's impressions of these swords are and the overall durability/quality of them.

What I don't care about:
-Weight
-Historical Accuracy

What I am concerned about:
-Durability ( i dont want it to break in my hands if I whack something with it)
-The ability to sharpen them ( i know people have issues with sharpening DSAs but I've already done it successfully once)
-For the Anduril ( the tang looks a little whimpy for how massive and long the blade is. Also, how secure and strong is the entire hilt with that long screw-on pommel.
-Overall quality.

If anyone owns either of these, can you please let me know your thoughts on which one you prefer and which one you think I should go with based on what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance!!

It's heavy, but there's just something about it that I really like. It just feels good in hand; and, to me, it doesn't feel like 5+ lbs.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
