Good video, nice review. I liked the fact that you included circumferences of the grip, an important statistic that rarely gets mentioned.

Thanks, guys. Yea I've been getting used to the editing and production side of things so they should be a lot smoother from now on.
Yes that's what I always wanted in reviews were detailed stats and if you can find what you want might as well do it yourself right? Lol!

The only thing missing was a HRC number, but that might be asking too much. A ball park figure would do. Kits available from Amazon amongst other. Be careful not to ramble too much making the video long. Glad that you didn't make a cutting scene as they are a waste of time unless the sword fails. That would be worthwhile to know.

Yea de-construction and hrc tests like that aren't really my focus as the manufacturer stats are going to be the more consitent ballpark unless they're lying. Yea working on the rambling, lol. Oh I'm still doing cutting just giving cutting its own video with follow up after the session. I also plan on doing more detailed historical sections in its own video series. For example taking a sword based on a historical original and giving more detail to the history of the sword and how the reproduction matches. As well as opinion pieces and biopics on the sword market and sword topics in general. Like talking Typologies or giving opinions on various vendors and manufacturers in the industry.
