EDIT 10/7:
Here is the finished video:
And here is a supplemental video that I created to answer some follow-on questions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From 10/6:
In this video, I introduce a method for cutting with a Viking sword with a Petersen type AE hilt and a very short grip length (~3 inches). The sword used in this video is a Suontaka Sword by Rob Miller at Castle Keep that I recently picked up second hand for a good price.
This is only intended as a preview. I will be doing much more cutting this weekend and will produce a more extensive cutting video with commentary.
Enjoy the video

I like the sword and as usual good cutting. Will be looking for the main feature when you get around to it.

I updated the post with the finished video. Also created a supplemental video to further explain some points from the video.
