And how I envy you the KC Medieval! Another sword after their Teutonic I wish I have grabbed when I had a chance. Cool stuff.

Gen hannon, Findlithui

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen! Madmartigan, I love the KC Medieval. I botched up the polishing job on it a bit though, I think it had a very slight hollow grind and that threw me off. I need to redo the polish at some point.

Thanks, Bryan! The Baron is a bit blade heavy with not much distal taper to it. The blade has a decent amount of flex but nothing too crazy. That said, the construction is solid as a rock and it is a pretty fun cutter. I'm actually considering selling the Baron to go towards an HT Longsword or EMSHS, so if you're interested, maybe we can work something out

I still have a Baron. The first one I bought had a blade with a lot of flex. I let it go and picked up the one I still have a few years later as MRL listed a few well after they were discontinued. This one has a very stiff blade. Not much taper but a fun sword and great value for what MRL was selling them for.

I'm pretty sure I bought this Baron off of you, William
