I'll figure it out I think... ;-) In the meantime, I have updated on the first page who has been selected for what so far and where the reviews are up to. One more person, this time from page 3, has been selected - so stay tuned. Kane Shen's review link leads back to this thread. 'Doh!
Fixed... Thanks for that.

I would enjoy the opportunity to give a review. If you have any Roman style swords Gladius, Hispaniesis, Mainz, Fulham, Pompeii, Spatha or Parazonium swords. I specialize in the creating of them and have been researching and studying them for the last 12 years. Working with Museums, Archeologists, Historians and reenactors to create historically accurate commissioned pieces.

Location Medford, OR Interested in testing any type of sword New to reviews but later today will be posting my collection as well as a few reviews!
Hey folks,
As many of you will know, SBG has contacts with pretty much every major sword supplier around the world.
The best suppliers and sword makers seek out feedback on their swords - refining them based on this feedback, or just leaving them as they are if they happened to simply 'get it right the first time' (it's rare, but it does happen!).
The problem for suppliers is finding reliable people to review and test the swords properly. And that my friends is where you come in..
Right now and into early 2021 there are quite a few swords that need an independent review. So if you are interested in being a part of this and get some free swords and the kudos that come along with a new review of a new sword, now is your chance!
To enter and register your interest, please provide the following details in this thread:
Your state and country Your preferred sword type (i.e. Medieval swords, Fantasy Swords, Viking Swords, Katana, etc, etc).
Links to any reviews you have done previously
We will then go over each entry and contact you directly if we find a sword that suits your interest and is approved by the maker based on how good your reviews to date are.
All swords sent will become YOUR property after the review is finished - so you are free to do with it whatever you want to so looking forward to seeing who will put their hand up..!
- Paul
SELECTED MEMBERS TO DATE (remember, you can be selected more than once!)

I'm located in Oklahoma, USA
I am most knowledgeable in Medieval swords and katana, but I'm interested in and happy to review all kinds of swords whether they're European, Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, etc. Historical or not.
I haven't reviewed any swords as of yet, but I'm very interested in starting so I'd love to start here.

I'd love to do this. I live in Canada and my interest at the moment is Japanese Odachi swords of which I have purchased 2 inexpensive swords. I also have two great swords or claymore, 2 katanas, a rapier and a few others.

Hello,
Florida, USA (Sunshine State so I can make videos all year in between rain storms)š
I really like Migration Period, Viking, and Medieval swords. Spears and axes too. Of course a good katana or wak.
Mostly forms, cutting, and pell work in the back yard. Use sword and shield, axes and spears, one and two hand swords.
Spar and train occasionally with a viking and am delving into HEMA so I would also be interested in reenactment/sparring & training swords.
Have not done any review on video yet, but I really should. I have a lot of fun, and enjoy learning about the history of the different weapons and fighting styles.
Thank you for concidering me.
