This is exciting stuff. The Aislinn Sword (based on type XV) in particular was something I'd been hoping would happen. Been waiting for it.
Will it finally happen?

Dear All, we have two versions of each sword: fighting and regular. Our fighting is slightly heavier than the regular with the edge about 2mm. Regular is about 1mm edges. We dont sell sharpened blades. is the weight issue on both fighting and regular.

We dont sell sharpened blades. is the weight issue on both fighting and regular. Hi there, Firstly, I think it's fair to say that you guys at Deepeeka have been steadily improving over the years. And it's really good to see a company, in any field, engaging with its customers and seeking to get better and better. To address your point, I'm not sure if it's just the weight in and of itself that's the issue. For instance, I'm quite open in saying I feel your Tewkesbury longsword is a decent budget sword and it's not overly heavy. It's certainly well within the parameters for a sword of its type. The issue that most people have is MASS DISTRIBUTION rather than weight. Specifically distal taper. I'm talking about blade thickness rather than blade width. Medieval European swords started out thick at the guard and got thinner toward the point. Even going from 5mm thick stock at the guard to 3mm thick stock toward the point would make people very happy and would really boost sales. People who know far more about this stuff than me will add to this further, I'm sure. Thanks! P.S. I agree with Edelweiss regarding the naming conventions. You might be better giving them an Oakeshott typology instead of/as well as a name. For instance Oakeshott Type X - Late Viking. Oakeshott Type XI - Siege of Dublin Oskeshott Type Xiiia - Stirling Bridge

It does have a somewhat different profile and doesn't really fit the mold of the Wallace sword. See page one. I'm still trying to be kind.

is the weight issue on both fighting and regular. I don't know. The specs I referred to are what I see available at KoA. KoA didn't specify whether the available models are "fighting or regular". Or if they did, I missed it. Do you believe the Aislinn model will be available anytime soon? That one in particular I've been waiting for a long time. I was hoping it'd go into production. I already have a prototype of it, but without the gilt or integrated sword belt. deepeeka.in/new-in-2014/aislinn-sword-based-on-type-xv.html

Just bought the Lake Neuenburg Sword. It's pretty much EXACTLY what I've been looking for (type, size, weight, history, PRICE, and even the inscription)! Kind of like finding a unicorn for me. We'll see how I like it in person.
Glad I stopped by this thread!

Good thread.
That's quite a list you've got there, Barahir. I won't deny I'm tempted to get a couple of them myself. What are your impressions so far?
Comte de Nieuwekerke I might not be able to resist. In particular.

I couldn't resist. Comte de Nieuwekerke is on the way.
I'll share impressions when it arrives.

we tried the distal taper with mixed results. we were not consistent. having said, let me work harder on that aspect.
also, thank you for the naming convention. I will change it on our site and also let our distributors know this.

the production for that sword is going on already and some pieces on the way to KOA. is the weight issue on both fighting and regular. I don't know.

It's great to see a vendor as big as Deepeeka interacting here. I see a few more models posted on KoA today. Any idea roughly how many more should we be expecting?

Dear all, its nice to hear some positive things about our new swords and we hope to continue improving our quality. ... The HRC is given on only one of the six new swords. To me that is more important than steel type and is sadly lacking on most swords these days although is being displayed more and more. ... I believe that's an oversight on KoA's part, not Deepeeka's. Deepeeka's site lists the hardness for all these "new and improved" swords that I looked up. Admittedly I didn't look up all of them, just a number of them. But they seem to be consistent at Rockwell 48-52. Neuenberg Lake Sword -- "heat treated to a Rockwell of 48-52"

Not a huge fan of European swords and never really looked twice at anything by Deepeeka, but I stumbled into this thread somehow and can't leave without saying how great it is to have someone from Deepeeka interacting with our members, exchanging feedback, and so on.

The Comte caught my eye too. It's a good one. But the one they've posted that I didn't expect to like was the Gunther 9th to 10th Viking. I don't own any Viking swords, don't like Viking swords particularly much. But these look good. Regardless I've got to save what I've got left (which isn't much) for the Aislinn. I've been waiting for the Aislinn for over a year. It's a must. I can't allow it to slip by when it finally shows up. I'll be selling fingers and toes if I have to. Just not my own.... But damn that Gunther looks good.... and so cheap. Right now at least.

in regards to the same sword, we have 1 more pending for them. you could talk to them to order more and we would be happy to send them.
