Nice. He has tuned his XIIIas quite a bit over the years and it looks like he has found an optimal range for cutters. A lot pointier over the years too The longer grip brings the pob back just about exactly as much as my old classic while maintaining much the same other specifications. The weight just about identical. Weird, in a good way I'm sure. Still the same flexible blade but a bit more pronounced in the hex cross section. There had been a clamor for heavier XIIIas years ago but this looks like a return to the lights. I always liked cutting with mine and it has been a long time now but it was always a treat for unpegged stumps and empty bottles, and jugs.

You are making it look easy!

I'd love to hear your final impressions.

Good observations! I have updated the introduction section with more information regarding the design of this sword as opposed to previous ATrim XIIIa swords. Essentially, this XIIIa.2 was based on a later 15th century type XIIIa, rather than the larger, heavier 13th and 14th century warswords.

This Bohemian sword, XIIIa.6 from the Records of the Medieval Sword, was the primary inspiration:

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

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
